Re: Frisian Flag 2018

The question will be for most air forces: Which ones are serviceable? And not: Which one in a special livery can we sent to Leeuwarden..

Re: Jordanian Falcons leaving Volkel (29-11)

Nice report and very atmosperic pic @ Aviano. I can't help but observe that calling the departure of 6 Falcons a "mass-launch" says a lot about local movements at fighter bases nowadays. ;-)

Re: 2030: Luftwaffe Tornado jets likely to be replaced by F-

Later on when it becomes prolonged rough and dirty, other jets might perform as well or better agree! ( ...something with ''gulf war'' and ''tornado losses'' .... :? ) Maybe some old J...

Re: F-15A Gets Special Paint Livery for Aviation Nation

Ah yes. I saw they changed it. And my comment was purely factual (as this is a spotters forum and such..) and in no way diminishes the memory of those who perished in this tragedy.

Re: 10th CAB helicopters heading for CONUS

Rumours suggest this to be the Steinweg comapny at the Professor Gerbrandy road in Rotterdam harbour (coordinates 51.896175, 4.287124), but this hasn't been confirmed. I can see no NOTAM suggesting a temporary restructed airspace around that area neither. So we have to wait and see ;-) Is the locat...

Re: 10th CAB returns to CONUS

If I get the location of Steinweg at the Professor Gerbrandy weg right, there is a park opposite the river called "Park De Lickebaert". This is on the other side of the Nieuwe Waterweg between Vlaardingen and Maassluis. Location Steinweg: 51.895767, 4.287052 Location park is roughly at 51.901063, 4....

Re: 10th CAB returns to CONUS

Will there be a temporary NOTAM around the area in effect? If yes, this might give some clues w/ regards the location. I tried searching but found nothing as of yet.
