IVAO Fly-In at Schaffen airfield (EBDT)

Fly-In for old timer aircraft organised on IVAO by Joris Laeremans

                                                                                      August 10th and 11th

Some 18 internet flyers participated, flying mostly World War II aircraft: P51's, Spitfires,  Lancaster and B17 bombers and DC3's.

Some aircraft could not land and overflew the airfield, often in formation. Impressive displays.

With a SW wind, in fact a strong  wind on the Sunday, rwy 24 was the active runway. Most aircraft used the Averbode abbey as entry /exit point. 

As EBDT is absent in FSX it was the EBDT_scenery mentioned on the FlightSim tab of this blog that was used by all of the flyers. The abbey is prominently visible.

Here are some screenshots of the Fly-In:

main parking area at fuel pump, the Lancaster in reality would never be able to take off from the Schaffen airfield.

There are definite intentions to organize this event again in 2014
