Pictures : 15th wing Open Door - Melsbroek,Belgium

Hello ladies !
I went to a fun event last saturday , something i was so excited about for a very long time !
It was de 15th Wing Open Door at Melsbroek , Belgium .  It was the 65th anniversary of the wing together and 40 years of operational service of the C130 . The C130 is one of my favorite military planes , and i wanted to see it in close up :) So this was a great opportunity to do that . I see them al the time flying over my house ( and they come very low ! ) , but it was always a dream to see one from a close view and to see it from the inside . You could win a flight with it and with some other planes from the Belgian Army also , but unfortunately i didn't win the maiden flight :( ... *sigh* ...
I had a fun day, so here are some pictures ! (It's just a small selection of the huge amount of pictures i've took :) )

This C130 got a special painting for the 65th anniversary of the wing !

Pictures: visit to a submarine :)

Hello there ! Hope you're all doing great ?
I'm on vacation right now and i had some time for blogging , so i thought it woud be fun to show some pictures from a trip we did . We went to visit an old Russian Submarine and a lightship . It was so much fun ! I've always wanted to see a submarine from the inside , so this was a great opportunity :)
I'm a sucker for military kinda things like a submarine , a battleship or a cargoplane like the C130 . Athough i really don't like sailing.
It's a very old submarine type U-480 Foxtrot 641. They simulated the sound of the engines and you could even smell the motoroil ... i cannot believe that those soldiers lived in here for 3 months ! It was so tight inthere . We also saw a lightship ... with me as captain LOL

So enjoy these pictures !

 

 

 



 



 

We even had to climp through those small holes ... how did they do this ? I was struggling here . Those military guys need to be fast when they do that ....  :/
