Melsbroek Indian Motor Day 2010
Text & Pictures : Serge Van Heertum - SBAP
The 13st
edition of Indian Motor Day was organised at Melsbroek Air Base on Saturday May
29th. This manifestation is in fact a biker concentration and the start point of
their run is the 15th Transport Wing tarmac. This event can be consider as a
little open door and the interest, beside to see plenty of impressive bikes, is
also the possibility to have a look at the 15th Wing fleet and the Brussels
National airport activities. Behalf the C-130's and other Embraer's of the
Belgian Air Component a special guest was present coming from Canada, a CC-130E
equipped with the
COPS
(C-130
Open
Skies
Pod
System)
pod used for the Open Skies treaty missions.
Remark :
SAMSON (Special
Avionics Mission Strap-on)
is the Lockheed denomination for this pod that you will find in many article
about the Open Skies Treaty.
