The purpose of this blog is to provide some information about the published photographs and the trips and events that are covered here.
13 - 21 May Java (Indonesia) - Singapore
Thanks to Singapore Airlines and the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism & Creative Economy I was able to discover Central- and West-Java.
Indonesia is a great country to travel to. There are many possibilities (ranging from cultural visits, walks in the wonderful nature and leisure time) in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The Indonesian people are very friendly and service-minded. I also spent a few days in Singapore, which looks quite futuristic from certain angles, offering a lot of photo opportunities.
25 - 28 April Istanbul
For the first time we went on a trip abroad with our photo club Klik-Klak.
It was a lot of fun and we all came back with hundreds of pictures.
Flight International publications
Two of my pictures taken in 2012 have been published in Flight International magazine of 12 December 2012:
One of these pictures has also been published online on Flightglobal.com:
14 / 16 September - Sanicole Sunset Airshow / International Airshow
Both the 3rd Sanicole Sunset Airshow and the 36th Sanicole International Airshow were splendid events. The Sanicole Sunset Airshow on Friday saw some rain but this was largely compensated by the fireworks making the evening show even more spectacular and exciting than in previous years.
The Sanicole International Airshow on Sunday had some special visitors, like the B-52 bomber, the Saab Viggen vintage fighter and Hannes Arch flying his Edge aircraft really on the edge!
The beautiful weather provided a good ending of the airshow season.
23 June - Florennes International Airshow
With the exception of Sanicole Airshow (in September) big airshows are becoming rare in Belgium. An event like the Florennes International Airshow is quite exceptional and we will probably have to wait another 10 year before we get a similar event. I am happy I visited the show on Saturday because a lot of flying displays were cancelled on Sunday due to the bad weather. One of the highlights for me was the Swiss PC-7 Team: they performed such a perfect routine despite the windy conditions affecting their smaller turbo-prop trainer aircrafts.
