Brussels Air Museum - Last photos

What follows are the final photos I am publishing from my visit. There were of course a lot more aircraft than what I have published or photographed and if you're into tanks and guns and everything else war-like, there is a lot more to see.

Entry to the museum is free except for special exhibitions so it is well worth going to visit!

Anyway, top to bottom we have:

Voisin de Caters [replica but with the original engine and propeller]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk X1V
Sikorsky S-58, OT-ZKF
Not sure of the type, but this helicopter comes with the worst camo & hi-viz combi I have seen :-)
There was no sign, but this appears to be a Link trainer, or similar, with an awesome body kit and paint job!

Brussels Air Museum - Jet fighters

No aviation museum with a military flavour would be complete without some jet fighters. Here are just a few of the jet fighters at the Brussels Air Museum!

Top to bottom are:

Dassault M.D. 450 Ouragan [yes, I also thought this was a MiG at first glance...]
North American F86F Sabre
Dassault Mirage 5
McDonnell-Douglas F4 Phantom II
General Dynamics F16

Brussels Air Museum - Smaller Aircraft

OK, so here are some of the smaller aircraft at the Brussels Air Museum. Top to bottom we have:

De Havilland Canada DHC3 Otter on skis!
Morane-Saulnier MS 315
Percival Gull, G-ACGR
Morane-Saulnier MS 892 Rallye, OO-TAU
Piper PA18 Super Cub
Nord 1002 Pingouin 2 [version of the Messerchmitt Bf108 Taifun]
Dornier DO 27
Tipsy Trainer

Brussels Air Museum - Larger aircraft

Here are some of the larger aircraft from the Brussels Air Museum. My favourite by far is the SUD Caravelle VI N, previously operated by Sabena [Belgium World Airlines].

If you look carefully, you'll also see a P38, though perhaps not the P38 you were expecting :-)

Anyway, top to bottom we have:

SUD Caravelle VI N, OO-SRA, previously of Sabena
Douglas DC3 Dakota, OT-CWG
Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar
Pembroke P-38, OT-ZAD
Junkers JU 52/M3

These Belgians do museums good!

As previously announced, I went to the Brussels Air Museum yesterday. The air museum is part of a much larger military focused museum and, if I had taken the directly route, would have only been about a 1 hour walk from my hotel [which is right next to Brussels Midi train station].

Here are a couple of photos to get us started. You'll see from the first of these, that the Belgians do museums pretty good! The entrance was on the other side and to the left of the massive arches [sorry Berlin, these look bigger and more impressive than yours!].
