Hi all,

Wonderfull!
Thinking of the old days of the Heli Days at Liege-Bierset.
Hope that they can stick to that concept!

Saw most special choppers there, with a Super Frelon, MH-53J, Mi-14 and a Hind Mi-24P only being a few of them..

Looking forward to the main day at 12 april!
Just wondering why to arrange it on a Wednesdag?

Kind regards,

Cause it's an exercise and not an airshow. Take a look at the SIS.

Hi, thanks for the log.
SF-260M ST-33 (cockpit GIA)1WING BAF
This is the first time I ever see this one mentioned. Could I ask how you identified it? Any more info on its whereabouts?

Here you go.... it was visible on the front and the back of the cockpit. Apparantly they have it already quite a while. As some of the yellow paint was already chipped, they are planning to repaint it again shortly. Strangely enough some of the blue paint was still visible as well, on the spot where the fuselage was in it's stand. The blue paint comes from the 'Swallows' colorscheme it wore when it crashed.

I hope this answers your question.

Kind regards,
