European Trainer Meet & 25 years Alpha Jet |
The Belgian Armed Forces Air Component, formerly known as Belgian Air Force, was celebrating 25 years of Alpha Jet. Reason enough to organise an European Trainer Meet. When the Belgian have something to celebrate, they often organise a day for aviation enthousiasts as well. On the 29th of June, the European Trainer Meet took place at Beavechain, the home base of the Alpha Jet. The organisation succeeded in getting interesting aircraft to Beauvechain. |
