For the first time since long there was no Sanicole
airshow in 2014. Instead Kleine Brogel Airbase hosted the Belgian Air Force
Days. The list of participants was impressive to say the least, with highlights
being the Al Fursan team from the UAE and the Frecce Tricolori. |

The former gave us a private airshow behind the
Skyvan during the arrivals. It was planned to do some passes underneath
our photoship, but after filling the cabin with their smoke after the first
pass, they actually formated on us. Other planes that joined up for pictures
were the Dutch Historic Flight Spitfire, and the Swiss Air Force F-18. Also
from Switzerland the PC-7 team proved that a large formation can result
in fantastic photos. Going solo was the PC-7 from Zwartberg, the airfield
we operated from as well. New for our crew was the rare Norwegian P-3 Orion. |

The French send some serious heavy metal to Kleine
Brogel. Both the Rafale and Ramex Delta, flying the Mirage 2000, were present
and put up a great show behind the Skyvan, as well as on the airshow days. |

As if this impressive list isn’t enough,
the Czech came out to play with their Alca and the Hungarian Air Force brought
us their Antonov. The Dutch send both old and new with the Hawker Hunter
and a couple of F-16’s, but they also showed their helicopter with
the Apache. |

Another highlight were the two American F-15’s.
This flight turned out to be the last air to air sortie for one of them
as it crashed only two weeks later in the UK. Luckily the pilot got out
safely. |

Last but not least, there were many F-16’s.
The Danish send two and also Belgium, The Netherlands and Turkey had their
demo F-16. The combination of the three demo planes resulted in a unique
formation. |
