Fabke, do you plan also Beauvechain in your "website spotter guide" ? Will add in the near future spottingguides for Kleine Brogel , Beauvechain and Koksijde , but this will be after the airshow season as I have very busy weekends from now on  Anyway , spotting at Beauvechain can be done from both sides ot the runway and at the side of the main gate there's even an official spotterscorner very close to the threshold , will post a map of it after the weekend |

for the moment there's not much left at Beauvechain  the Alfa Jets are at Cazaux now, and the Fougas are almost all whitdrawed ( i think there are 5 left ) so this leaves you with the Marchettis  who knows, in a couple off years there could be the transport wing, but that are just rumors and possibility's know  |

Finally went to the Beauvechain's RWY23R 'Spotter Corner' this morning.
In 30 min time, I've seen 5 x SF260, 2 x Alphajet and 1 x F-16B.
You need a minimum of 200-300mm to take good shots.
I go up to 105mm, a bit short !
Didnt have time to trace the location of 'Spotter Corner' of finale of RWY05

that's quite a lot off traffic for just 30 minutes  seems you where there on "rush-hour" ;D 105mm is a bit short to do spotting indeed, 200mm is the absolute minimum |
