Hello All,

Today, Vortex and I made a roundtrip Holland- Belgium.

We started the day in Peer. This is a small village in Belgium very close to Kleine Brogel. Last year they putted a Starfighter on a pole in the middle of a roundabout. This Starfighter was our first goal!

Budel airfield is called Budel-Schoot or Budel-De Kempen.

Didn't you visit the nearby German army base (F-104 and F-86) ?

There where two Cougars at Kleine Brogel today, one of them was the S-445.

See ya

We did see the Cougar. I got an email of an other spotter who told me it was the S-445! This is the one we saw, looking at the time it made a touch and go.

We did not visit the german base. maybe something for next time!

[BWAirlines]

wat is that for a German base? Leopoldsburg-Beverlo?
~(not to mention the size of it (too small))

Or Zutendaal?
Or??

[Copter]

No as you could read this base is in Budel (The Netherlands). I heard it will close in a short time .....

[BWAirlines]

I never knew there was any base there!
Weer wat geleerd

[BWAirlines]

Can somebody please give more info about the army base??

[pax]

I think they mean the "Nassau-Diez-Kaserne" of the German Airforce in Budel / Weert.

But there are based "only" some soldiers (aprox. 1000) for the basic training, no flying troops. After 2 months of basic training they move to their regular unit.

I have been based there for 2 months in 1998 and already at this time there were rumors, that this base will be closed.

Sorry for my english!
