Skydive Center Spa (Belgium) gets a Wind Tunnel Can't Post

Belgium gets a wind tunnel!
The german news on the Skydive Center Spa Homepage confirm that the work has begun. (Only ground measurements and testing so far, but once it get's warmer they'll start digging.)

From what I know, construction work is scheduled to be completed this year!

That means competition for the Wind tunnels in Paris and Zürich. Cool
I wonder what the prices and capacity will be ...

Have you a webpage you got this from?

Whats that in old money? 13ft by 20ft or thereabouts?

Thats a reasonable size - should be very interesting to start seeing more tunnels in Europe and the impact that may have on who goes where for training Cool

No charge for a basic wind tunnel webpage at bodyflight.net and construction tracking is included as you can see on this page, it's a great way to keep everyone up-to-date on your progress!

Congratulations on the upcoming tunnel!!Smile
