Defence Days / Defensiedagen 2007 (Koksijde, Belgium) : Though it was a totally overcast day, the 6th edition of the Defense Days (defensiedagen) in Koksijde, Belgium, were a HUGE success. Reportedly, 145,000 visitors were witness of the way the Belgian Army is transforming. The mission of the Army is restoring peace and the many foreign missions to promote peace are just part of it. The Ministery of Defence and the Military Staff decided that all tracked vehicles must disappear before 2015 and the Belgian Army must be more flexible and smaller. Only highly flexible and mobile units should be the result of the reorganisation. Also, the material should be of high quality. Currently, the BEST-program (Belgian Soldier Transformation) reviews the equipment and uniform of the individual soldiers.

Defence Days / Defensiedagen 2008 (Florennes, Belgium) : This gallery is about the 7th edition of the annual Defence Days (defensiedagen) in Belgium. This time, the event took place at the Air Force Base in Florennes. On the first day some 35,000 visitors came by. The day started cloudy but still quite sunny and ended in pouring rain, making that many visitors left the demonstrations and air show very early. The second day, on which almost 45,000 visitors enjoyed the demonstrations and airshow, was marked by very nice and dry weather.

Air Force Base Beauvechain/Bevekom (Belgium) : Open days of all units of the Belgian Army during the 5th edition of the Defence Days on the Military Air Force Base in Beauvechain/Bevekom. There was so much more to do and see than I could handle (continuous air shows, demos, etc.). This gallery only gives a small impression. The weather was overcast and quite cloudy and windy but dry on the first day (fortunately for the photographers who were present all over -- mostly with Canon EOS cameras and HUGE telelenses). The second day was very windy and rainy... Reportedly there were 85,000 visitors. All my photos are shot with the Nikkor 18-200mm VRII lens as I have no telelenses.
