story<\/div>\n<h2>The Belgian Air Force story: eighteen days in 1940, two RAF squadrons and a name taken back<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1909&ndash;1918: balloons, Farmans and the Groupe de Chasse<\/h3>\n<p>Belgian military aviation dates its lineage to 1909 and a company of balloon handlers, and to the first military pilots&rsquo; brevets of 1910; by 1914 the Aviation Militaire had four squadrons of four Farmans each. Belgium spent the whole First World War holding a strip of Flanders behind the Yser, and its airmen fought from there. On 17 April 1915 Fernand Jacquet scored the first Belgian aerial victory; from March 1918 the fighter squadrons were grouped into a Groupe de Chasse that fought more than 700 combats and was credited with 71 confirmed and 50 probable victories. Its star was Willy Coppens, who was credited with 37 victories flying the French Hanriot HD.1 &mdash; 34 of them German observation balloons, a more dangerous target than it sounds &mdash; until an incendiary bullet shattered his leg on 14 October 1918. Coppens, Jacquet, Andr&#233; de Meulemeester, Edmond Thieffry and Jan Olieslagers are still the names Belgian squadrons remember.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">May 1940: eighteen days, and an air arm destroyed<\/h3>\n<p>Between the wars the A&#233;ronautique Militaire rearmed late and from too many suppliers. On paper it had 377 aircraft in May 1940, about 250 of them combat types, but only some 50 were of reasonably modern standard: Fairey Battles, Gladiators, a handful of Hurricanes and Fiat CR.42s alongside obsolete Fairey Foxes. Only 118 were serviceable on 10 May. The Luftwaffe struck the airfields that morning; around 83 Belgian aircraft, mostly trainers and hacks, were destroyed, and nine of the fifteen CR.42s at Brustem and three Hurricanes at Schaffen were lost on the ground. On 11 May nine Battles, escorted by six Gladiators, went for the Albert Canal bridges the Germans had seized; six Battles were destroyed, the other three badly damaged and four Gladiators shot down. The remnants flew 146 sorties in the first six days and 77 more to 28 May, when Belgium capitulated. It was brave and it was hopeless: the equipment decisions of the 1930s had lost the air war before it began.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1940&ndash;1946: the Belgians of 349 and 350 Squadrons<\/h3>\n<p>Belgian airmen who reached Britain served first as individuals in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, then in national squadrons. 350 Squadron formed at Valley in November 1941, the first RAF squadron manned by Belgians; 349 Squadron formed in Nigeria on 10 November 1942 with Tomahawks, was disbanded, and reformed at Wittering on 5 June 1943 with Spitfires. Both flew sweeps and escorts over occupied Europe, moved to the Continent after D-Day, and 350 Squadron&rsquo;s Spitfire XIVs flew against the V-1 in 1944. The best-known Belgian of the period, Remy Van Lierde, was credited with six aircraft and 44 flying bombs and commanded an RAF squadron. The two squadrons came home to Belgian control in October 1946 and still exist, flying F-16s at Florennes and Kleine-Brogel: they are the direct link between the exile force and today&rsquo;s service. How many Belgians served in the wartime RAF, and how many died, we could not verify from a primary source.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1946&ndash;1970: an independent service, the jets and the Congo<\/h3>\n<p>Military aviation became an autonomous force, independent of the army, on 15 October 1946, and took the name Force A&#233;rienne \/ Luchtmacht in 1948. NATO money and British and American aircraft built it fast: Spitfire XIVs from 1947, Meteors from April 1949, 213 F-84G Thunderjets from 1952, then F-84F Thunderstreaks, Hunters and 53 CF-100 all-weather fighters. Belgians first went supersonic on 30 August 1955, and 112 F-104G and TF-104G Starfighters, all assembled by SABCA at Gosselies, arrived from 1963. The Congo was the other theatre. Belgium built the vast base at Kamina from 1952, trained pilots there, and when the colony&rsquo;s independence collapsed into mutiny in July 1960 flew in troops with C-119 Flying Boxcars and sent armed Harvards into action. In 1964 Belgian paratroopers jumped on Stanleyville from American C-130s in Operation Dragon Rouge. The Mirage 5, ordered in 1968 and assembled by SABCA in Wallonia, gave the air force a clear-weather attack jet.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">1975&ndash;2019: the F-16, the scandals and the expeditionary years<\/h3>\n<p>In 1975 Belgium joined the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway in choosing the F-16, and signed on 5 May 1977 for 116; 44 more followed in 1983, all assembled by SABCA. 349 Squadron was the first operational F-16 squadron in NATO. Belgium also bought C-130H Hercules in 1972 and, from 1978, 33 Alpha Jets. The dark side came in 1988: Agusta and Dassault paid bribes to win the A109 helicopter contract and an F-16 electronic warfare contract, and the scandal, entangled with the 1991 murder of the politician Andr&#233; Cools, ended with suspended sentences in 1998 for three former ministers, one of them the former NATO Secretary General Willy Claes, and for Serge Dassault. In 1996 a Belgian Hercules crashed at Eindhoven killing 34 people, most of them Dutch army musicians. After the Cold War the service shrank and went abroad: 12 F-16s over Kosovo in 1999, Afghanistan from 2005, Libya in 2011, three F-16 campaigns against Islamic State between 2014 and 2021, and the Kabul evacuation of August 2021.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">2018&ndash;2026: the F-35, Ukraine and a name taken back<\/h3>\n<p>In 2002 the separate armed services were merged into a single Belgian Defence and the air force became the Air Component (Luchtcomponent \/ Composante Air). On 25 October 2018 the government chose 34 F-35As for about four billion euro; in the background was the F-16&rsquo;s NATO nuclear role at Kleine-Brogel, which Belgium has never officially acknowledged. The first Belgian F-35 flew at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, on 12 December 2024, and the first three landed at Florennes on 13 October 2025; by September 2026 sixteen had been accepted, seven of them in Belgium. Since mid-2024 the service has again called itself the Belgian Air Force, Luchtmacht and Force A&#233;rienne. It has promised its F-16s to Ukraine, but ties their release to F-35 arrivals, and none had been confirmed delivered by September 2026. The budget has jumped, MQ-9B drones and H145M helicopters have arrived, and a transport pilot, Maj. Gen. Bruno Beeckmans, took command in May 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">Between the wars the A&#233;ronautique Militaire rearmed late and from too many suppliers.

Transport is seven Airbus A400Ms and two leased Falcon 7Xs, with a share in NATO&rsquo;s A330 MRTT tanker fleet. The helicopters are four NH90 NFH for search and rescue, about ten A109BAs and the first H145Ms; pilots start on the SF.260, and three MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones fly from Florennes.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the Belgian Air Force called in Dutch, French and German?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">In Dutch it is the Luchtmacht and in French the Force a&#233;rienne (mil.be writes Force A&#233;rienne), the names on the official Defence site in 2026. Belgium&rsquo;s third official language is German, in which the service is the Luftwaffe; mil.be publishes no German version, so that form is not confirmed on the official site. From 2002 to 2024 it was the Air Component: Luchtcomponent, Composante Air and Luftkomponente.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is it the Belgian Air Force or the Belgian Air Component?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Both names are correct for their time. From January 2002, when Belgium merged its services into a single Defence, the air force was officially the Air Component. In 2024 it took back the name Belgian Air Force (Luchtmacht \/ Force a&#233;rienne), which the official site mil.be now uses; Wikipedia dates the change to July 2024, but we found no official document giving the exact date. The national aeronautical information publication (skeyes) still referred to the Belgian Air and Space Component in 2026.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>When was the Belgian Air Force founded?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The service dates its lineage to 1909, when a military balloon company was formed; the Aviation Militaire followed in 1913 and went to war in 1914 with four squadrons of Farmans. It became an autonomous service, independent of the army, on 15 October 1946, and took the name Force A&#233;rienne \/ Luchtmacht in 1948.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many F-35s does Belgium have?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Belgium ordered 34 <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-35-lightning-ii\/\">F-35A<\/a>s after choosing the type on 25 October 2018, and had accepted 16 by 26 September 2026: seven at Florennes, eight at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona for training and one still in the United States. Eleven more, to make 45, are funded in the 2026 budget, but a contract had not been confirmed. Kleine-Brogel receives its first F-35s in 2027 and full operational capability is planned for 2030.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>When did the first F-35 arrive in Belgium?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The first three Belgian <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-35-lightning-ii\/\">F-35A<\/a>s landed at Florennes on 13 October 2025, joining 1 Squadron; three more arrived on 25 September 2026 after crossing the Atlantic with tanker support via the Azores. The first flight by a Belgian pilot in a Belgian F-35 took place at Luke AFB on 12 December 2024.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why did Belgium choose the F-35?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The government announced on 25 October 2018 that it would buy 34 <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-35-lightning-ii\/\">F-35A<\/a>s for about four billion euro, ahead of the Eurofighter Typhoon and other contenders. The official case was cost and capability; the unspoken one was NATO nuclear sharing, since the F-16 at Kleine-Brogel carries out a role that needs a certified US-built successor. Belgium has never officially confirmed that role.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is Belgium giving its F-16s to Ukraine?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Belgium signed on 28 May 2024 to give Ukraine 30 <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16<\/a>s by 2028, later reported as all 53 remaining airframes by the end of 2029. On 18 June 2026 Defence Minister Theo Francken promised seven in 2026, three operational and four for spare parts, and tied the rest to the arrival of the F-35. By September 2026 no delivery had been publicly confirmed.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are there nuclear weapons at Kleine-Brogel?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Belgium has never officially confirmed it. A NATO Parliamentary Assembly draft report leaked in July 2019 listed Kleine-Brogel among the European bases storing US B61 bombs, and a US Air Force munitions support squadron is stationed there. Belgian governments keep to NATO policy of neither confirming nor denying.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who commands the Belgian Air Force?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Major General Bruno Beeckmans, since 29 May 2026. He took over at Kleine-Brogel from Maj. Gen. Geert De Decker, commander since 20 March 2025, and is the first chief whose career was entirely in air transport: a C-130 instructor who commanded 15th Air Transport Wing at Melsbroek from 2022 to 2025. The Minister of Defence is Theo Francken.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many people serve in the Belgian Air Force?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">5,700, according to the official air force page in Dutch, French and English. The service flies nine aircraft and helicopter types from five air bases: Kleine-Brogel, Florennes, Beauvechain, Melsbroek and Koksijde.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Where are the Belgian Air Force bases?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">There are five: Kleine-Brogel in Limburg (10th Tactical Wing, F-16), Florennes in Namur province (2nd Tactical Wing, F-16, F-35A and MQ-9B), Beauvechain in Walloon Brabant (1st Wing, helicopters and basic training), Melsbroek next to Brussels Airport (15th Air Transport Wing) and Koksijde on the coast (40 Squadron, search and rescue). Bierset near Li&#232;ge and Chi&#232;vres were fighter bases in the Cold War.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happened to the Belgian air force in May 1940?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">It was overwhelmed. Of 377 aircraft only about 50 were reasonably modern and 118 serviceable on 10 May; about 83 were destroyed that day, mostly on the ground. On 11 May six of nine Fairey Battles and four of their six Gladiator escorts were lost attacking the Albert Canal bridges. The survivors flew until Belgium capitulated on 28 May.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which Belgian squadrons flew in the RAF?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">349 and 350 Squadrons. 350 formed at Valley in November 1941 as the first RAF squadron manned by Belgians, and 349 reformed at Wittering on 5 June 1943 after a short first life in Nigeria. Both flew Spitfires, fought over Normandy and against the V-1, passed to Belgium in October 1946 and still fly the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16<\/a> today, 349 at Kleine-Brogel and 350 at Florennes.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who was Belgium&#8217;s top fighter ace?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Willy Coppens, credited with 37 confirmed victories in 1918, 34 of them German observation balloons, all flying the Hanriot HD.1. He lost a leg after being hit on 14 October 1918. Fernand Jacquet scored Belgium&rsquo;s first aerial victory on 17 April 1915. In the Second World War Remy Van Lierde was credited with six aircraft and 44 V-1 flying bombs.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Did Belgium fly the F-86 Sabre?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">No. Belgium&rsquo;s post-war fighters were the Spitfire XIV, Meteor, F-84G and F-84F, <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/hawker-hunter\/\">Hawker Hunter<\/a>, CF-100 and F-104G; the F-86 does not appear in the type list of the Belgian military air arms.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Did Belgium fly the Mirage?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes: 106 Mirage 5s, ordered on 25 August 1968 &mdash; 63 5BA fighter-bombers, 16 5BD two-seaters and 27 5BR reconnaissance jets, assembled by SABCA. They served from 1970 to 1994 at Florennes and Bierset, went to Turkey during the 1991 Gulf War, and 25 were later sold to Chile. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mirage-iii\/\">Mirage III and Mirage 5<\/a> page.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the Agusta scandal?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">In 1988 the Italian firm Agusta and the French firm Dassault paid bribes to Belgian political parties to win the contract for 46 A109 helicopters and an electronic warfare contract for the air force&rsquo;s F-16s. The affair came out after the 1991 murder of the politician Andr&#233; Cools, forced the resignation of Willy Claes as NATO Secretary General in 1995, and ended on 23 December 1998 with suspended sentences for Claes and two other former ministers and for Serge Dassault.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Was the Belgian F-104 purchase linked to the Lockheed bribery scandal?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Not on the record we found. The Lockheed bribery scandals of the 1970s involved the Netherlands, West Germany, Italy and Japan, among others, but no Belgian case is documented in the standard accounts. The corruption case that did touch the Belgian air force was the Agusta-Dassault affair.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What did Belgium do in the Congo?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">In July 1960, days after Congolese independence, Belgium flew paratroopers in and the air force&rsquo;s C-119s and armed Harvards supported them from the base at Kamina. On 24 November 1964 about 320 Belgian paracommandos dropped on Stanleyville from American C-130s in Operation Dragon Rouge to free hostages held by Simba rebels; about 1,600 foreigners were evacuated. Both interventions remain controversial in the Congo.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Has the Belgian Air Force been in combat since 1945?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes, in coalitions: 12 <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-16-fighting-falcon\/\">F-16<\/a>s flew 679 sorties over Kosovo in 1999; F-16s flew in Afghanistan from 2005 and from Kandahar from 2008; six F-16s struck targets in Libya in 2011; and F-16s flew three rotations against Islamic State from Jordan between 2014 and 2021. No Belgian aircraft has been lost to enemy action since 1945.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happened to the Belgian C-130 Hercules?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The twelve C-130Hs that arrived in 1972&ndash;1973 were retired on 17 December 2021, replaced by the Airbus A400M. One, CH-06, crashed at Eindhoven on 15 July 1996, killing 34 people, most of them members of a Dutch army band, and another was destroyed in a hangar fire in 2006. Some were later sold to Pakistan.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What drones does the Belgian Air Force fly?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The General Atomics MQ-9B SkyGuardian, flown by 2 Squadron at Florennes. The first arrived on 18 August 2025, the second and third in February 2026, and a fourth is on order; an armed option has been approved. It is the MQ-9B, not the MQ-9A Reaper. Before it Belgium flew the B-Hunter from 2002.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which helicopters replace the NH90 and the A109?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The H145M replaces the A109: 15 for Defence, delivered from 2026 to the end of 2027 at Beauvechain. The four NH90 TTH were withdrawn in 2025, and the four NH90 NFH search-and-rescue helicopters at Koksijde are to be replaced by four new SAR helicopters bought through NATO&rsquo;s NSPA; no type had been chosen by September 2026.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Where do Belgian military pilots train?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Basic training is on the SF.260 at Beauvechain, to be replaced by 18 Pilatus PC-7 MKX from 2028. Advanced jet training moved to the Franco-Belgian Alpha Jet school at Cazaux in 2005, and since the Alpha Jet left, Belgian fighter pilots have trained abroad; F-35 pilots train with the 312th Fighter Squadron at Luke AFB in Arizona.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the Belgian defence budget in 2026?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The 2026 budget provides 20.109 billion euro of commitment credits and 10.767 billion euro of payment credits, with defence spending held at 2 per cent of GDP through 2033. For the air force it funds eleven more F-35As, the second NATO MRTT tanker, the H145M and the SkyCourier special-operations aircraft.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Where can I see historic Belgian military aircraft?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">The Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and of Military History in Brussels holds the national collection, and the 1Wing Historical Centre at Beauvechain has a collection on the base. One Belgian Hunter F.6, IF-65, survives; none of the 53 CF-100s was preserved.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What aircraft does the Belgian Air Force fly in 2026?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"About 40 to 44 F-16AM\/BM Fighting Falcons and 16 accepted F-35A Lightning IIs (seven of them in Belgium) make up the combat fleet.
