Re: Ho Chi Minh City December 2023

Nice. One of very few options to photograph operational military aircraft there I guess. How long did you stay, to get this "yield"?

Re: Aviation Day / NSK "2023"

Hebben jullie al wel een datum die gedeeld kan worden? Dan kunnen we de agenda alvast blokkeren :-) Nog niet maar we hopen dit snel bekend te maken. Moet nog worden bevestigd door de beoogde locatie. We zijn weer anderhalve maand verder, is er nog geen bevestiging van de datum? Hoe eerder agenda's ...

Re: Defile 14 Juillet 2023 Paris

Hi all, These questions still haven't been resolved: -According to the infographic both CN.235s should be from 'Escadre 64', but this is not mentioned in the Scramble OrBat or database anymore. The aircraft DO carry the 64-code though. -All particiapting navy Rafales should be from 17 F according to...

Re: Dinoland Zwolle (NL)

Just a quick note to confirm both the Mi-2 and the Beech 19 are still present at Dinoland. Due to the winter (no leaves on the trees), both could easily be seen when passing on the main road next to the attraction parc.

Re: Operation Atlantic Resolve 2023

Dat is wel zichtbaar ja, maar wel kist voor kist. Ze worden in een loods klaargemaakt voor transport, en daar kun je helaas niet in kijken van buitenaf. Dus je zal er uren/dagen moeten staan om alle choppers te zien tijdens het inladen.

EHAM 01-12-2023 MIL off-topic

I'd call this GOV.. Slovak AF calls SQF. But nice to see a good ol' Fokker again! One of those in "the grey zone" ;-) Civilian registration, but carrying the Slovak AF roundel (shield). For me it (just) qualifies as military, but I understand people for who it doesn't. Either way indeed it would ha...

LOG Sri Lanka last day (6-10-2023)

Hi all, Today was the last base visit of the trip, and for me the most promising one. Although still not confirmed, we would probably be able to visit the engineering wing, where multiple helicopters are stored and also quite some aircraft and helicopters are undergoing heavy maintenance.

Re: Operation Atlantic Resolve 2023

Als je verwijst naar de helikopters, dan is het antwoord ja. Wat vertrek betreft, geen idee, maar dat zal nog wel een aantal dagen duren, aangezien alle choppers aardig opgevouwen en/of gedemonteerd moeten worden.

Re: Danish Defense Boost!

Would not be a big problem to bridge the next 6 years of production with 16 Canadian and 8 German P-8s in the backlog, plus any other potential FMS. AFAIK the Canadians haven't ordered the P-8 yet. They are still making up their mind and are also considering an option from Bombardier with a few oth...
