Re: Vervanging F-16's

Wordt het niet eens tijd dat we als Europa/NAVO afspraken maken dat een klein aantal landen met het allerduurste topspul gaat rondvliegen (Duitsland, Engeland, Frankrijk, Noorwegen) en dat er ook landen komen die iets meer op de kwantiteit (F-16, Gripen) focussen? Met al die toekomstige luchtmachtje...

Florennes Airshow Saturday 23-06-12

A couple of my shots taken off-base. In fact, these are the only aircraft I was able to shoot in sunshine.. The participants list was very good, the weather was not bad at all, but the flight planning was terrible! No jet flights before 13:30h. We left at 17:00 because the position of the sun was so...

Re: Belgian Internation Airshow - Florennes 23/24 June

The spotters place (east side / landing today) are not accessible by car. The reason for this is that the road is an exit road for some of the parking areas. What you can do, is drive from the village of Rosée to the spotterplace, park your car at one of the official parkings close to the spotterpla...

Re: Future Luftwaffe fighter fleet/bases

AFAIK the final 37 (of 180 EFs) will not be incorporated in the end. Just been looking into this again and I can now confirm that you were right. A total of 33 Tranche 1 aircraft were delivered by March 2008, the next batch being delivered right now comprises 79x Tranche 2 and the final batch from ...

Exercise Atlas 2012 | Moroccan F1s & F-5s in Spain!

Interesting exercise currently going on at Talavera la Real airbase in Spain.. At least four Moroccon F-5s and two F1s are deployed there.

Re: uitgelekte plannen over JSF

Zou er nog een weg terug zijn dan? Deze aankoop is toch allang in de achterkamertjes vastgelegd.. Anders had zelfs een incapabel politicus als meneer Hillen allang voor een alternatief als de F-16 Block 52/60 gekozen! Als we een kabinet zonder CDA en VVD (de enige 2 JSF-voorstanders geloof ik?) gaan...

Re: Welk computersysteem voor fotobewerking?

Met windows was dat altijd weer een verschil in kleur van het ene naar het andere. Dat ligt dan dus aan de beeldschermen, niet aan het operating system (zie bovenstaand S-IPS/TN verhaal).. Het zou een beetje vreemd (en onwerkbaar!) zijn als een operating system foto's er beter/slechter uit laat zie...

Re: Great places to stay (near and around airbases) - MIL

Nice topic! Here's a recommendation for those going to the airshow at Batajnica, Serbia, in September.. Serbia - 20km south of Batajnica is Hotel Vila Apolo in Belgrade. This hotel is located in a residential area in Belgrade. Very affordable rooms and helpful staff. For only €9 they even come pick ...

I think you are confusing two dates here: 11 April (display rehearsal) and 12 May (Landmachtdagen)..
