Haha, I had to translate that in Google Translate.

Helloooow! This is me, Ben van den Boomen. Simmer in the winter months, aviation photographer during the rest of the year. I live in the Netherlands, near Gilze-Rijen AB. Earning money with teaching webdevelopment, photography, audio and video. 1. Me in front of a Belgian Alpha Jet on Beauvechain. 2. This is what I like most; being part of the exercise! One of the low fly zones in The Netherlands. 3. Always keep an eye on the movements when changing position. Hence the safety vest so the air crew is also seeing me. My camera is in the plastic bag. 4. Being interviewed by a TV network about an arriving Antonov 124 on Gilze-Rijen AB.

Although Belgium already has a great deal of enhanced airports, I miss two of them: EBLE (Sanicole) and EBKH (Keiheuvel). Sanicole has an annual airshow which is quiet huge and measures up with the bigger airshows in Europe. Keiheuvel is a personal wish because as a child, I use to hang around there all summer and occasionally pilots took me in the air with them.
