EDIT:
1971-03-00: Taken on charge by the Belgian Air Force
1988-04-01: The main landinggear of "Matchbox 16" collapsed during taxiing.
The aircraft slid further for a few meters on its auxiliary fuel tank.
The taxitrack remained blocked for a long time, because the crane that was supposed to come
from Brustem didn't show up.
In Brustem they thought it was an Aprils-fools joke.
After a phonecall to Brustem from the Staff, the seriousness of the case became clear...
