A letter from Lieutenant Colonel Aviator Wilfried "Bill" Tersago

Belgium can not be called an aviation minded country:  Old airfields are being closed or submitted to stronger restrictions,  noise nuisance has become a key word and flight safety at Airshows is much more important than any other aspect of aviation.

We may be happy that an aviation enthusiast as Marc Arys does exist, who spared no pains as to make a positive minded approach to aviation in general and to the Belgian Air Force in particular.  In his book you now have in front of you , you can see he did not spare any effort nor cost to make it easy readable and attractive.

This study of the Alpha Jet arrives at the time the F-16 demands the major part of attention.  After the Kosovo-crisis the fighter from General Dynamics will probably own his place in aviation history.  It is hereby very important to point out that our complete generation of F-16 flyers received their instruction in the Alpha Jet and that all those young pilots did not encounter any problem to switchover from one plane to the other.

I still have left the best memories of the Alpha Jet:  it was a smooth and easy aeroplane, not a real war machine, but a tool in which you could bring instruction to a very high standard, because afterwards, as I said, it was on the F-16.  Having given for about 600 hours of instruction in it, I can really call it "a pilot's plane".

The reader will find in this book information about every aspect of the Alpha Jet: history and development, use, instruction, maintenance, a bunch of photographs and drawings for the model builders and a lot of technical data.  A series of illustrations make it a real complete book by which I wish you already hours of enjoyable reading.

Why is it important to look at airplanes?  Airplanes, especially planes like the P47 thunderbolt show the rapid growth of technology in the world and in the United States that provided us with the great freedom that we enjoy today.  With this freedom comes responsibility.  The responsibility to learn all we can not only about airplanes or history, but about technology.  Technology is the most important product of the United States has today.  To keep our country on top of the worlds technology requires us to have the most trained workforce anywhere.  Aviation is important because aviation and aerospace both exhibit the limits of our technology. If our students learn about aviation they will be able to understand any field of work.  We must ensure that aviation, airplanes, aircraft and aerospace are words on all of our children's lips.
Airplanes create dreams.  Dreams of leaving the restriction of a two dimensional world.  Dreams of having freedom to travel anywhere, in any direction at any time and any distance. Aircraft give us the big advantage to do all of these things in only a short while.  When we dream of airplanes, we lift our heads to the sky.  We feel the pride of having limitless capabilities.  We don't pick up airplanes, airplanes lift us up and our minds are launched into new horizons.  We need airplanes and we need to keep airplanes in all of our minds.  Aviation gives our people an upward mobility that no other branch of technology can ever do.  As long as we feed our dreams, we have someplace to go.
