Liège-Bierset 12/13 May

Post by Jaap »

We received the following from the Belgian Helidays organization:
I would like to announce you that the above mentioned event will NOT take place like previously planned on 2 and 3 of June, but due to parliament elections early June, the dates have changed to 12 and 13 May.
The Helidays website still needs an update however.

Just had contact with the organisation , they wrote:
According to tradition, our Airshow should normally take place during the first weekend of june.

But due to unforeseen circumstances (federal elections), we had to change the Belgian Helidays dates to 12-13 may 2007.

The website will be updated soon.....

Hallo,

Does someone knows what kind of helicopters are expected and/or invited? The website still doesn't mention anything about it and I tried to contact them by e-mail but never got an answer back.

Thanks.

Felle.

They are working hard on presenting us with a nice show again, as they always do at Bierset.
Several helicopters have already confirmed from a number of countries including the Netherlands, Germany, France, Hungary, United Kingdom and Poland. For an overview, see here.

More participation details.

Most interesting new participants come from Slovenia (Cougar) and the US (Pave Low III) in my opinion.

Ik heb dit al een paar ker gedaan en ik moet zeggen dat het wel de moeite waard is.

Hier vind je foto's terug genomen op vrijdag in 2005.

Hangt natuurlijk ook wel allemaal af van hetgeen er allemaal verwacht word en waar dat ze worden geplaatst, want zo kan je bv van de ene kant naar de andere kant lopen om een landend toestel te zien.
