Welcome to our 1st Special Edition for 2018 of The Aviation Magazine in which we feature
exclusively our visit with the 1st Squadron Stingers at their home base at Florennes AB, of the Belgian Air
Force.
Our visit was a result of my winning their drawing contest for their 100th year anniversary aircraft. This
drawing will be available soon (being printed presently) from Stingers from their official tent at air shows
throughout Europe, and from their website http://www.1sqn.be/goodies/
While at Florennes Air Base we also had an opportunity to see the new colours of the F‐16 Solo Display in
action which is flown by “Vador” a pilot from the Stingers squadron. Vador will be flying this beautiful “Dark
Falcon” for the next three seasons.
We also had the opportunity to visit the Brussels Air Museum, which is a must see, if you are in Belgium.
The museum has approximately 100 aircraft on display, all indoors, which is quite important preserving
these valuable aircraft.
We will be changing our magazine reader platform from Joomag to Issuu, to keep the ever increasing cost
manageable and to continue with our slogan “The BEST and FREE e‐based magazine since 2009” . Our
new Managing Editor can be contacted [email protected]
