Here are the two young bucks, which are now inhabiting my summerhouse in separate hutches. Sadly the onset of adolescence has led to them wanting to fight. So for now they are in hutches opposite each other, and not allowed to socialise until they have visited the vet for a reduction in body parts - hopefully that will fix them.

Update Monday August 6th 2018 - sadly Jet passed on this day, during surgery - he had been a little offish yesterday, but was deemed healthy enough by the vey for surgery. Unfortunately he didn't survive surgery.
Koksijde, 7 July 1991.
2019 will see the end of the Belgian Alpha Jet. AT12 is here seen in the original, beautiful camouflage.
Belgium received the first of 33 Alpha Jets in October 1978 as a replacement for the Lockheed T-33A and Fouga Magister. The last one was delivered in July 1980.
They were used by 7 and 11 smaldeel at Brustem and later Beauvechain, but in september the fleet moved to the French-Belgian Advanced Jet Training School at Cazaux (France).
This one is an L39 I think. I know it's from the archives.
I still like the pure black background best.
Two jets just photobombed my picture as I was shooting … No one was hurt in the process

A Blast from the Past
-A terrasse with a view LOL :-) There used to be annual air shows at Mirabel where part of the airport tarmac was used as a static display area for military and some commercial planes. I loved it because you could still get really close to scheduled flights like this Iberia 747-200 that for many years flew MAD-YUL-MEX... thus the little outdoor café right there in front of the 747... Imagine this today LOL....!!? there's just no way, the world isn't as innocent anymore. Still though I was lucky enough to experience this and get this cool shot and enjoy the air show. I marked on the photo "Spring 1983"

*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Boeing 747-200,
Manufacturer: Boeing (USA) .
Main Role: large capacity long range mainline jetliner
Basic design: Four engines double aisle wide body jet. Knows as a "Jumbo Jet"
Capacity: Roughly 395-500 passengers
Range: 9000km -12700km
First delivery date: 1970
Still in production in 2006: No
Easily confused for: ..nothing. It's unique to itself but these two models can be easily confused for the 747-300 and 747-400.
Main identifying points: Look for the the "hump" or second floor at the front of the plane that houses the cockpit and upper deck cabin f the aircraft. Also the fact there are passenger seats more forward than the cockpit. No other jetliner has these features. Everything else is secondary: A very large and massive tail, 4 very large wing mounted engines. The 747-100 and 747-200 have antennae located a
at the wingtips facing backwards (seen best from under the plane on the ground while it's in flight), 4 sets of main undercarriage landing gear. Early models of the -100 only had 3 second floor windows on each side of the upper deck. Later models have a regular set of closely positioned windows instead. Both versions has a standard short length upper deck compared to the 747-400 whose deck was lengthened significantly.
Examples of Main Operators: Today the 747-100 is pretty much out of service. They may be cargo carriers still flying it. JAL, ANA and I believe Northwest still fly the occasional 747-200. The main operators of it's day were Pan Am, TWA, Lufthansa, BOAC, Air France, Air Canada, JAL, Qantas, Varig, United, Continental, Air India, Sabena, Swissair, SAS, Alitalia, Olympic among many.

I'm not usually into 'biz' but the JetStar was something else...
