thx for the pics of this event
seems like you had a nice day

[Kristof]

Thanks Vonsmalhausen. The Alouette II was supposed to do some paradrops but these were cancelled as it was a little to windy . It took off once in the morning around 11.00 but they didn't jump, the chopper returned and departed shortly after noon back to Bierset. . the Alouette III operated some pleasure flights in the afternoon for some lucky ones and the Seaking only arrived at about 16.00 hours.

It was indeed a nice day, cold & windy but nice .

Regards,
Kristof
