Re: EHLE 20-11-2019

Zag het toestel net zeer laag over de A6 komen toen ik daar reed. Dalend in bocht met landingsgestel uit. Kon eerst bijna niet geloven dat het echt een F27 was. Mooie kist.

Re: EHLW 31-10-2019: F-35A arrival, etc.

Ben bang dat je dat schuim er heel snel af moet spuiten, zeker als de kist in de zon staat. Anders krijg je allemaal droogvlekken in de lak. Is meteen het hele stealth effect weg..... :dontkno:

Great news for spotters maybe. Not so great with regards to international politics and strategy.

Very nice! Good use of perspective. Did they also take off so close together? Would love to see a video of that.

Re: 22aug2019: B737 met 170 pax vloog Athene-Praag met één m

Uiteraard kun je op 1 motor ook vliegen. Maar je backup is weg. Je neemt dus bewust een risico. En in de luchtvaart neem je nou juist geen vermijdbare risico's, zeker niet met passagiers. Deze vlieger loopt (hopelijk) een groot risico zijn brevet te verliezen. En terecht. Dit is niet te rechtvaardig...

Re: Air France may retire all Airbus A380 giants starting 20

That would be a shame. As a passenger (in economy class) I found these A380's the best and most comfortable planes we have ever used. That goes for the ones operated by Air France as well as those operated by Emirates.

Would be great, but I think neither if them is smart enough to come up with such a plot. :roll:

Turkey receives first S400 modules

Just saw the news that the first parts of the S400 system have arrived in Turkey. That may mean that delivery of F35 to Turkey will be cancelled. That would be a very understandable and wise decision. Maybe some of the 100 F35's Turkey has ordered will now be available at a discount to other buyers....

Re: Luchtmachtdagen 14-15 June 2019 at Volkel

Normally these open days are held every two years. In the far past it was every year, but defense cuts made it every two years. This time there were three years inbetween because the air force had too much personnel occupied with operations abroad. There simply wasn't enough staff available to organ...

And please, don't put tents along the crowdline. I'm not talkling about reserved viewing areas but about stuff that should be put elsewhere so as not to obstruct the views. The whole eastern end was blocked, so that the public was much less spread out than possible. Indeed, very true. Huge sections...

Any one?

Kind regards,

At the display yesterday, they later made a flypast in a 10 ship formation and these ones used the smoke. But unfortunately it was hardly visible.
