Proud member of the European Airshow Council

The Aviation PhotoCrew is a group of enthusiastic aviation photographers who shared their talents, network and equipment to achieve a higher level in their passion, Aviation photography. Founded by Eric Coeckelberghs, the group of friends participated for the first time as a crew in the ‘Flying and Friendship’ trip through Northern France in April 2009. During that weekend they made their first photoreport and please all the participants with their images.

The first step was taken and the event was soon followed by many other unique projects. Specializing in Air-to-Air photography they capture the pilots and their aircraft in their natural habitat, the sky. Having worked with Invicta Aviation before, they choose the Shorts Skyvan, operated and flown by Tony De Bruyn, as their preferred airborne photoplatform. Tony himself is a huge aviation enthusiast and owner of a nice collection of aircraft.

The PhotoCrew started to become famous for their Air-to-Air photography out of the Skyvan, which is an ideal photoship. The aircraft has a speed range from 65 -155 Kts making it possible to handle a wide range of aircraft, from small vintage trainers to the newest Fighter Jets and even large commercial aircraft.

In the following years they successfully finished many aviation photography projects, from private Air-to-Air photoshoots to airshows and large scale military exercises. All crewmembers gained valuable experience in different photoships, both civilian and military.

In the beginning of 2010 they published their first hard-cover photobook, Air-to-Air Academy Volume 1. They are also the proud photographers for the Sanicole airshow photobook since 2008. During the years they have build-up a high level of experience in high quality Air-to-Air photography. Their work has been used for many applications, from world-wide aviation magazines and books to huge airshow billboards, and extensive use in PR-publications by many Airforces.

In May 2010 they organised the first edition of the PhotoFlying Days and Air-to-Air Academy, which brings aircraft and photographers together in a unique way. See our specially dedicated pages on our website for more info.

By November 2010 the transition to their final format, as 'Aviation PhotoCrew' was successfully completed. The team uses the best photographic materials to be able to deliver the highest quality of images. They use both Nikon and Canon professional digital cameras with the sharpest lenses on the market and tools like the Gyro-Stabilizer to create the best images in high resolution.

Here you can find the port-folio of the Aviation PhotoCrew members which shows some of their best aviation photographs.

Giel Sweertvaegher
Giel is the réal “young” generation photographer, as he caught our attention at the age of 14. He was one of those very active members on forums across Europe, taking a lot of initiative with his limited photography equipment. But that's excactly where it all starts...an idea and a lot of drive! Giel joined the Aviation-PhotoCrew in 2009 and before reaching 17 years he has already flown beside and in warbirds, several vintage aircraft, and produced very original photowork during many Air-to-Air shoots including fast jet formations. That's where ambition can bring you if you really want it!

Tom Houquet
Tom completed the PhotoCrew in April 2009. Being already a wellknown aviation photographer in Belgium, his levels were “raised” when he joined the Aviation PhotoCrew on the many Air-to-Air photosorties. It hasn't really stopped since, and Tom has produced some of our most famous and eyecatching pictures. A lot of his photowork is regularly featured in books and magazines. You are looking at much of his efforts and other talents right now, as Tom is also our webmaster!
