F-035 - F-037: 22-5759 - 22-5761

Re: 12th Airbase / Dolna Mitropolia / 30-03-2024

This is not an airshow but a local open day. I would not expect much when it comes to external visitors for static or flying display. Expect a pair of each based type (PC-9, L-39, Zlin) flying. Static will consist of around three aircraft towed from the technical school to the airfield and with fenc...

Zoom in on the tailnumber in said photos. Lack of perspective and the original '610' looks different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPFU_iKxUBM

Re: Hungarian Embraer KC-390 first flight in Brazil

Looking at the pictures of '610' on the runway, it seems someone at Embraer needs to work on his/her Photoshop skills......

On the 26th, SW F-16s, SJ F-15Es and RAF Typhoons arrived for an exercise. So probably parked at the far end….

Re: Kuçovë Air Base, Albania

The only two storage mountain hangars were at Gjader and Kucove. From GE images, it looks like Gjader is now completely abandoned and I haven't seen any reports from it for over 10 years. I would assume that one is empty...? The wrecked EC145 FA-637 is (was?) inside at Gjader at some point. Dunno i...

Re: Seoul ADEX 2023

Both Andovers have been on strength of the local CN235 squadron for many years now…. The latter squadron is an Airlift Squadron since the designation ‘Tactical’ was dropped, you’ve guessed it; many years ago😉 This goes for all CN235/C-130 transport squadrons of the ROKAF.
