Allegedly on their way to the UK to a new owner(s).

Press release from the Dutch ministry of defence confirms the first 18 F-16s will be handed over to the Ukraine. They will get some IRAN and maintenance first.

Ennn 18L.. Yep, en dáár had dus niemand meer op gerekend helaas :-( Nog bedankt voor de update, wordt echt gewaardeerd :worship: :worship: Gelukkig staan er weinig flitsers tussen Boesingheliede en 18L en kwamen we nog met een autootje of 8 net op tijd :lol: Dat hebben jullie beter gedaan dan ik da...

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...

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.

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.

And just taking off from the Polderbaan (11:30 u).

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...

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. SLAF Katan...

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.

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...

Thanks for these great reports!

Perfect, thanks!

Hi all, Today would be the busiest day of the trip, as we had two visits on the agenda. Our main concern however was the weather. On this side of the island the raining season had clearly already started, and the forecast predicted rain, rain and rain. Oh, and thunder storms… But there was of course...

Hi all, Again an early start, which was quite rough after yesterdays celebrations of the ‘non-alcoholic day’…. But it was for a good reason, as we should be in time for some flying activity. That didn’t work out unfortunately, but the visit was still very much worth it. SLAF Hingarukgoda 9 squadron:...
