Aviamagazine visited the 4th edition of the Tactical Leadership Program (TLP) exercise at the Belgian air base Florennes. This edition we walked the flight line and witnessed takeoff in appalling weather. Participants included Greek Mirage 2000s and Spanish Mirage F1 and F-18s.
Before the takeoff for today’s exercise we were able to walk along the flight line and watch the startup preparations. Before we moved to a great spot along the runway, the weather turned for the worst. During take-off heavy rain and a thunderstorm was passing the base. Water was literally dripping out of my camera.
