About the Dakota Association
The Dakota Association was founded in 1993 and is a non-profit organization whose mandate is to acquire, document, preserve and maintain a complete collection of aircraft that were flown by the Belgian military transport wing from the beginning of World War II to the present. Our role is to preserve the artifacts, books, periodicals and manuals relating to this mandate. The Museum now houses representations of all aircraft that ever flew with the 15th Wing, an extensive aviation Exhibit Gallery and the most up to date archive on all aircraft types, upgrade programs and missions prepared, flown and safely maintained by the men and women of the 15th Wing.

Unique stamps pay tribute to the Belgian Air Force in action during humanitarian mission
bpost, in collaboration with the Belgian Air Force and Mirage Team BD 09, presents a unique stamp sheetlet as a tribute to the Belgian military during humanitarian missions and aid to the nation. It also pays tribute to our Air Force crew and ground personnel who, in often difficult circumstances, are committed to providing life-saving emergency assistance.
Each sheet is composed of five separate stamps, which in turn bear an image of a legendary aircraft or helicopter of the Belgian Air Force that played a key role in humanitarian missions.
One of the stamps is dedicated to the C-130. As a reminder, exactly one year ago, C-130s of our Air Force flew back and forth between Pakistan and the Afghan capital Kabul as part of Operation Red Kite. This airlift operation to evacuate compatriots and residents of friendly countries is a humanitarian operation of our Air Force that is still fresh in our memory.

On August 30, the Air Force SummerEXPO will open one last time for the occasion. The Sea King helicopter will then house a temporary post office. Visitors can purchase the stamp sheets on site and have them provided with a unique day stamp.
