July 4, 2010 - Waddington here we come! Again from mainland Europe to the United Kingdom. Waddington traditionally is one of the bigger airshows in Europe. No exception this year. Weather turned out to be good for English standards. Much better then in the homeland anyway.

The Embraer took the team to Waddington in less then an hour. They had to wait for Mitch until the next day, since he had to perform at Beauvechain AB the same day.

July 3, 2010 - Here it is again. The first weekend of July, bringing us back home. One of the nice - but also a little strange - things of being a member of 'small' air force is that the number of displays abroad far exceeds the number of displays at home. This year that number will halt at two. And here's the first one. This year the hosts are the 1st Wing at Beauvechain/Bevekom AB. At this moment a training facility of the Belgian Air Force, but in a former life one could well call it 'fightertown Belgium'.

The theme for this year was the Belgian presidency of the European Council with some attention going to European related activities.

June 27, 2010 - Crossing the English Channel seems to be getting a habit. Certainly on the same day. We are getting to look like the Eurostar train. Anyway, the stop-over at Cambrai AB brought us a little bit closer to home. The Cambrai airshow is also one of those classics with a huge crowd and a lot of aircraft and displays to be seen over the weekend.

The weather over northern France was again perfect. This was also the case for Mitch's demo. Flawless once more.

June 26, 2010 - The first stopover on British soil in the 2010 season brought the team to Biggin-Hill AB. Crossing the English Channel is always risky, certainly concerning the weather. But this time, the English God's were on the teams side and the entire weekend was nice and warm.

The organisation at Biggin-Hill was top, as ever. So a nice venue, nice weather, a nice hotel, nice people, what more can you expect.....

June 20, 2010 - The second stop on French soil brought the team to Orléans AB, south of Paris. For the second time this season 'Mace' - the 349 sqn mascot - also made the trip. Mitch took the opportunity to take Mace into the air for the display. This way Mace's logbook could be further filled with exiting thrills ans most important, many more flight hours.

Since Mitch was also displaying at Gilze-Rijen the very same day, a second team was dispatched to Orléans to take Mitch in and prepare for another demo.
