Scramble Messageboard

Do we know the consequences of this choice for the "Belgian-French" cooperation in training on the Alpha Jets ? Both countries use the type, with their fleet located in France. If I understand well, first part of the French pilots training on (French, not upgraded) Alpha Jets will switch on PC-21. T...

From Belarus or from Ukraine ?

I remember that, 5-6 years ago, two Ukrainian Su-27 UB were "for sale" in Ukraine. It was then rumoured that both of them had been purchased by the US defense dept.

Actually, it would not be a crash but fire starting before take-off on a QRA. Indeed, this looks coherent with the second picture on flashnews.gr.
Pilot OK.

Following the French evening news, the 3 passengers were DGSE (Ministry of defense, Foreigh security) members. The two pilots were indeed also French, but civilians.

Not the most impressive item in Russia, but not everybody will visit the city of Kanach where this chopper is exposed downtown...

Some VIP MIL aircraft at Abelag this afternoon due to European summit (C-27J, Greek Gulfsteam, Luftwaffe A;319, 2-3 falcons).

Do we know why the deal just includes two-seaters ?
As far as I remember, Israel already owns quite many two-seaters in its F-15 C/D fleet.

Not very far from Rocourt, Fouga Magister MT-30 is exposed, in very good condition, at the Parc Industriel des Hauts Sart, close to A-13 highway, at the cross road between route de Liers and avenue du Parc Industriel.

Also visible on google earth.

Do you know were they are parked ? At Abelag ?
Possible to see them from outside ?

2 Ukrainian Su-27 and one Il-76 altogether !!

Too bad I missed this show.
Nice pictures of the Su'27s.

Coming to Danemark, it would make sense, on the way back, to travel southward to Florennes for next weekend airshow.
