Scramble Messageboard

This afternoon at about 1635 an Il-76 was seen cruising over the eastern Spanish coast over Alicante on a SW heading. Anyone an idea about its ID?

If Airbus' marketing efforts are as successful as they were for CSA, expect orders from the other side of the world. Much to my surprise I saw an Air Baltic being welcomed by the Auckland airport fire services. Yes, that is New Zealand.

I saw "H-4" (an ex Belgian AlouetteII) in 298 sq hangar at Gilze in October last year.

OH-ATG due in any time now.

I also loaded the blank pics and others into a Sony as well as an Olympus photo processing program, but the same blanks show u...

I returned from Oshkosh some weeks ago. On one of the days I made no fewer than 1197 pictures. That night in the hotel I downloaded them on my laptop. However, now that I am processing all those pictures I have found that about half of the pictures do not load into Lightroom. The metadata (date, tim...

During the Paris Air Show Embraer announced that KLM have ordered (firm orders!) 15 195-E2 aircraft with options for 20 more. KLM already operate 32 E190 as well as 17 E175. Delivery dates have still to be decided.

The pair of Japanese P-1s left this morning. Also the Spacejet (used to be known as MRJ90) has left. One of the Ansats is due to leave for LFFC later today.

When is most TEFAF traffic expected? The TEFAF website mentions that Thursday 14 and Friday 15 March are for invitees only. Will those be the two days EHBK will process most traffic?

Thank you! Considering the folie on the trees, I suppose August 1st must be correct. I don't remember seeing the other Swedish aircraft at S'berg.
