V isiting the 1st Sqn Stingers on a foggy May morning our Managing Editor, Ralf,
and I arrived at Florennes Air Base. The weather was rather brisk, but had a lot
of potential as the fog slowly disappeared and was replaced by much needed sun-
shine. We where hoping for the temperature to rise too from the 9˚C to around
16-18˚C. The weather Gods were with us, as it turned out to be an excellent day!
Before we begin our visit with the 1st Squadron let us start with a brief history of
the base and of the 1st Squadron.
