Re: RNLAF selects C-390M as C-130 replacement

The (Dutch language) letter to parlement states a cabin sim and flight sim as wel as 5 airframes. Tanker capability is not mentioned in the document. Remarkable is that according ...

Re: Help kindly needed on SP ;-) thanks

In general you might expect that in a conflict situation, surveillance and guard duties continue. It's a round the clock operation.
Guarantees are never given in the pursuit of militairy aviation spotting, especially with operaional information.

You are correct. Upon further inspection, the fouling on the tail indicates the (dust collected in the gleu of the) stickers of 01508 as seen at the 2017 RIAT.

Re: Storage area Andravida

Was there as wel, from my picture I red the following:

01505 (SPEC TAIL)
01506
01517
01526
71745 (?)
71755
71765
71744 (SPEC TAIL)

The special tails were not identified by their serial, but the fact that there is only one with that tail.

Pics available on request,

Best regards, Marc.

Re: Wie wat waar vliegt daar - 2022 MIL

Zojuist opgestegen in de haven van Vlissingen met transponder Hex: 447D28. Dat hoort blijkbaar bij ASF78 oftewel Blackhawk 6M-BH van Oostenrijk. Iemand een bevestiging of is dit een transponderfout?
