SAR Crew Meet 2018
 

The 2018 SAR crew meet was held on April 19th, 2018 at Koksijde Air Base in the Kring Allaeys. We welcomed 49 participants. As usual, we had a photo session and the results can be seen here below.

A printed photograph of the 2017 meet was handed out to a few of the members only who were present at the 2018 meet. I forgot to distribute them during lunch and did that eventually during the "debriefing" when a lot of people had already left. Sorry for that. The photograph is still available from me on simple request.

We wish to thank the Commanding Officer of Koksijde Air Base and all the involved personnel for hosting the yearly SAR crew meet.

SAR Crew Meet 2019
 

The 2019 SAR crew meet was held on May 9th, 2019 at Koksijde Air Base in the Kring Allaeys. We chose to hold the event a few weeks later than the usual mid April date so it would not be too close to the festivities around the final flight of the Sea King. We had 47 inscriptions of which 45 showed up.
