Once again, great pictures. Thank you for sharing them.

I see on picture 96 that VMFA(AW)242 is also flying single seat hornets (F/A-18 C). Did I miss something ? I thought it was an "all D models" squadron.

Omani A-320 is parked at Abelag, next to the 2 USAF C-40C's.
I didn't see the Gulfstream.

Just back from Zaventem : Two C-40s are at Abelag, easy to spot from the parking between Abelag and the crew buildings. The first one is 05-0932 and the second one is having no serial or any identification marks visible (all white with just the US flag on the tail). I guess it is 02-0202. No sign of...

USAF C-40C 05-0932 (SPAR17) landing now,
followed by C-40C 02-0202 (BOXER44).

CTM0005 (Fa7X) is inbound from Villacoublay. ADS-B : F-RAFB. + IAM1412 from Geilenkirchen. Should be a KC767. Airborne again this afternoon and landing now at Zaventem. Like in the morning, it made low flying paterns around Brussels. Does anybody know the purpose of such flights ? I guess they don'...

You are right. Sorry.
With regard to my pictures, the Longbow which left with 4 other AH-64 at around 1:30 PM was indeed 5602.

A few from today

I drove to Chievres today. I missed the first group which probably left just before. Upon arriving, around at 1:20 - 1:30 PM a first group took off and flew eastwards : - 5 Apaches, including 07-07045 (leading and the only one showing a Longbow over the main rotor), 09-05602, 3 x unknown, - One Chin...
