Military Jets Photography: 2008 08 28 Airday Koksijde

Like every summer, the Belgian Air Component open the doors of the coast base Koksijde. Ones more this was a succesful event with the 30.000 visitors registrated. This years the show was axed more on the military operations of the Air Component and the good co-operation with the French Air Force was also demonstrated.
Some old flying machines were showed in the static area and some in flight like the Fouga, the Vampire and the Avia BH-5, which arrived from the Czech Republic to commemorate the historical flight made in 1923 between Prague and Brussels.
Koksijde 2008 was also the last official solo display in Belgium for 2 well known pilots : Cdt Michael "Mickey" Artiges with the F-16AM and Cpt Rallet "Ralloche" from the French Air Force with his Mirage 2000C.
It was a real great show except for the weather conditions,but the amount of visitors is the proof of the interest for this kind of airshow.
