The Belgian F-16 Storage; Weelde, September 18, 2007

Belgian F-16s Leave the Storage; Text and Photograph's by Alex van Noye

On September 18, 2007, I drove to Weelde Belgium. The reason of this visit were three storage F-16 which would depart from the storage. These F-16s are all sold to Jordan. The F-16s were towed from the storage area to the runway. They were prepared by the ground crew at the head of the runway. The aircraft would leave Weelde via the air. The pilots of the F-16s arrived in the morning hours with an A-109 from Bierset. I managed to catch a few nice shots of the helicopter. The F-16 were started at the head of the runway. They left Weelde one by one inbound Kleine-Brogel and Florennes. They will never return to this location.
