Last week I was on an exercise at Weelde AB in Belgium.
Here an report and pictorial impression of Weelde AB.
Weelde AB, Dutch Airforce and Belgian Airforce flags at the gate of Weelde AB:
At Weelde, 13 F-16's of the Belgian Airforce are stored. In the next 1,5 year, these machines will be made ready for their trip to Jordan. All of the aircraft are sold to that country and at the end of 2007 they will depart from Sapca at Liege as 100% Jordan fighters.
The F-16's:
Years ago, these tails belonged to two operational F104's. Now they are just rotting away behind a hangar:
The firebrigade of Kleine Brogel AB was present this week because the groundcrews were performing enginetests at the F-16s. Every three months this is taking place to keep the engines in a good condition. I was lucky enough that they were doing these tests this week.
Also on the old airfield, a lot of old army stuff can be found. The scrapyard is huge. Most of the stuff will stay at Weelde because this is much cheaper than destroy the things. There was also a lot of stuff in good condition, but this was inside tha hangars and I was not allowed to take any pictures ot that. Most of the stuff inside is for sale, or already sold.
Jumping of a tank is not always a good idea. Sometimes it heards and than you get the following result (Luckily it wasn't mine!!!'):
And last but not least, some of my personel "holiday"pictures.
