Still a pitty that Indian military aircraft do not carry unit markings.

Thanks Hans and indeed, only saw them once with squadron markings. They were the 20sq aircraft that deployed to Red Flag in 2008.

Great additions Ben!

A friend of mine read one of the Orao’s in the Moma hangar as 25506 which was previously at Surcin in the museum.

Also note that a number of aircraft you refer to as ex-YAF are actually ex-Serbia and Montenegro AF (ex SCG - Srbija i Crna Gora AF)

I totally agree with Michel. I went to Serbia and I knew upfront it's not the most cheerful people in the world, especially the military and especially towards foreigners, let alone spotter. I know about the hassle some people had but it depended on the gate that you chose so there was probably some...

Well actually the not thing I read about four USAF E-3's at Geilenkirchen is your own post from 16th February...Maybe you can share a bit of info about your source?

This message board lacks a like button but well said and +1 Erik! Much appreciated Herby!

Erik

Four MiG-29s can be seen departing at the end of the footage or isn’t this what you meant Erik?

Klopt, is de museum kist op het oude Fitter veld van Pila, de 3620

Thank god not the scheme Trump proposed!

Well let’s agree to disagree. I agree that the dynamics of a fighter in action can result in some nice pictures but the is very little difference between an AMC aircraft in action. It is really the various unit markings which make them interesting for me.
