Re: EBBR/EBMB 03-04-2014 MIL

Gulfstream G-III or B727? could anyone let us know should it be on th...

Re: EBMB 02-04-2014 MIL

YOXA...

Well, I saw a british helo on Tuesay, I guess that would have been their 'ride' into Brussels for the meeting?
Helo I saw was UK Airforce Agusta Westland AW-190E G-CDVB one of the Queen's and Government's Heli's ;)

Re: EU - Africa Summit Brussels April 2014

Hi So i presume there wont be so many 'heads of state' after all, rather 'heads of government' or 'delegates of government', since otherwise they would obviously come with their own plane ... It's a pity. Considering the summit last December in paris ... anyway I will enjoy it either way. Greets, Ya...

Re: EU - Africa Summit Brussels April 2014

Hi tonjochems ... are these really ALL the visitors? Admitted there are some nice ones amongst them but actually I honestly find it only few ... it's not even 1/3 or 1/4 of the members of the African Union and thought there where going to be 80 delegations as this was to be called 'the largest summi...

Re: EU - Africa Summit Brussels April 2014

Hi I would hope that most of them will arrive the morning of the 2nd April, that would be nice since the meeting starts in the early afternoon. But I've heard rumours (apparantly with 'background info') that there will be most of them arriving on the 1st as of 16hrs (LT or not ...?), would be a pity...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

Hi Rene,

Apparantly today as there where 2 more C-17's.
That makes a total of 6 visited since yesterday evening late.

I guess all of it will be as good as gone now...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

No idea,

Depends on security and some luck, you'll have to try out the whole area.
You can take pictures apparantly from the road-side at Abelag, but you cannot stand on the concrete blocks marking the parking, neither can you use a ladder or any other kind of step.

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

Tibo Normally the usual spots shouldn't be a problem (except for car parking top roof maybe ... they might be 'closed'), at least providing you do not access private property, do not disturb people with your obvious presence or noise, do not park where is not allowed or create a dangerous traffic si...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

Hi Tibo I'm afraid NO one will be able to answer your questions, I wish we could. No we don't know when AF1 will be at Brussels, not even 'a rough estimate' .. because it all depends on how long the bilateral meetings after the end of NSS will take. Obama will meet with 3 or 4 more world leaders (se...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

Well Tibo, You can never be 100% sure of course. To be honest I would like that scenario more because that would mean he travels to BRU with his helo's and maybe VC-25 would fly in the day after (in daylight iso darkness) but that scenario doesn't seems so very possibly ... it might but chances are ...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

my guess is they will stay at their respective locations.

NL gets the 2 VH-60's, Belgium gets the 2 x VH-3's. And it is to be expected that the 2 x VH-60's will be shipped from NL to Rome for the final stretch of the trip.

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

There is just one thing I don't get Don't they have multiple 'beasts'? Because if it where to leave AMS after the president arrives at his 'ride to Brussels' then it will never be on time at BRU for the arrival of the president... Well I sure hope that Mr Obama will be leaving shortly after the clos...

Re: Obama to Visit Brussel 26 March 2014

Zoals het er nu uitziet komt inderdaad het volledige circus naar Brussel wat een indrukwekkende verhuis zal zijn. Gebaseerd op gisteren vrijgekomen gegevens (via pers en andere niet genoemde 'wel-geinformeerde' bronnen). Dinsdag avond na het einde van de NSS 2014 vertrekt Obama vanaf Amsterdam met A...
