Scramble Messageboard

Interestingly, 4th CAB refers to the Chinooks as CH-47G helicopters... It is a mistype. A lot of times the Public Affairs Officer (or more likely an enlisted soldier working for the PAO) writes the articles or photo headlines and doesn't actually know anything about aviation enough to know the diff...

There is no picture, at least not on my screen.... But put the coordinates in Maps or Earth, and you'll clearly see what I mean. hmm weird that the picture wasnt working, but after inputting the coordinates into google maps, yes that is the same place. good to know I can park there without any issu...

Hi, parking can be done next to the little power station house immediately on the right after going under the bridge when you passed the airfield entrance (driving south). Hmmm, sounds complicated like this, but those are the coordinates: 48 42 17 N, 10 46 18 E. As for standing, everywhere outside ...

I need some help everyone. I went by Donauworth today for the first time during a working day. I had trouble finding anywhere to park my car that seemed ok (legal) and I am also unsure of where is ok to stand to take pictures without being harassed. Can anyone shed some light on these subjects for m...

Rob, that is me in the CH-47 Chinook hanging out of the front!

A few from Kleine Brogel Friday https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/FzEUYkHUz5qFSHHwtIExJ_jN1kV9feNu36ini9XdIigZBG2ZS7HvWNizOgeLu_DSkekMnkG6YkDU7GkT0hgA1Kcw61Cyee89aGB9FK8V2rXpPwLmfVvgiolJh1YUMGLMMykBl7Y-u9VfLiPnGpjHoDyL5X8GzM1P4Kn1H8_mHpiwE150Zla9o1tY4NzFGG6X9VAmt_Mp8ZEnyzBKTrEkK2HFl8Wc-FsdZqqaOPJgVS...

Anyone else checking out Donauworth today? I have the afternoon off and was thinking about heading down there to check it out

Question is: which helicopter types will be replaced by the Venom? Mi-171's (these are slightly bigger than the UH-1Y or not?), or Mi-35's (unlikely without any missiles on order), or Mi-2 (these could even be replaced by a DJI drone), or W-3, or perhaps all of them (just 12 wouldn't be sufficient)...

Interesting. Their Mi-171s arent horribly old by any means, neither are their Mi-35s. But good to see a NATO ally moving away from the Russian airframes. Had some good times with these guys in the past with their Mi- airframes.

After a few months have passed now, does anyone have any pictures or video not previously shared of the AH-64/CH-47 departures? specifically of the pass over the spotters section after takeoff?

Looks like it was an amazing show. I wasnt able to go in the end, sadly. Looks like I missed an amazing lineup

This was a very difficult show to photograph due to facing the sun all day. There was plenty of vapour all day, which was wonderful. A venue with the sun behind and that lineup would have been PERFECTION, alas we had to settle for NEAR perfection! With an incredibly INTERNATIONAL lineup, the show ba...

There was only one Italian Tornado present, MM7070/6-71. The one you saw was the same one that did the engine tests. It was part of the earlier deployment but came in with engine troubles (on thursday, if I remember correctly). All other Tornadoes left on Friday. @AmericanSoldier: correct. ZJ810 re...
