Re: 07sep2021 piccie: four-jet submarine hunter Kawasaki P-1 ended up on the grass at Gifu...

Since its RAT is deployed, I'm tempted to think that it suffered an in-flight power failure.

Re: Florennes Air Show 1997

This could potentially be PT-17 (N2S-4), N62AG.
Have a look online to see if this is the one you're looking for.

Re: Antonov 26 missing in Russia

According to the Dutch news site www.nos.nl, the wreckage has been located in the sea, near its destination Palana.
No updates regarding the 28 occupants.

EDIT: same source now claims that there are no survivors... :(

Re: EHWO 25-09-2020

As far as I know, no Lynx today.

However, we did have a Belgian A109, H-46 (BAF317)
The F-35 was the F-009 (BOLT01)

Re: 3 A350s for Luftwaffe

According to Aeronews, the first example has been handed over today.
Picture on their website clearly shows '10+03'.

Ah, OK. Makes sense.
Thanks for clearing that up!

12 RC-135's are visible on ADS-B at this moment.
Any particular reason for this migration?
Good question. I'd like to know as well.
Too bad I somehow cannot attach my ADS-B screenshot to my post...

Re: Request: Aviation Nation 2019, Nellis AFB

Are you willing to share that pic with me (send in Priv Message)?
In my pics, the tails of -505 and -553 are blocked by their folded wings.
Only the third in row (indeed the -540) is visible in my pic.
View on the fourth one in line (-504) is partially blocked by one of the Hawkeyes.

Thanks.

Re: Request: Aviation Nation 2019, Nellis AFB

Reason why I started this topic was that I didn't have full readings on the Growlers parked on the northeast flightline.
This is what I read back then:

- EA-18G, ...... / ..-504
- EA-18G, ...... / ..-505
- EA-18G, ...... / NL-540
- EA-18G, ...... / ..-553

Re: Request: Aviation Nation 2019, Nellis AFB

Perfect, thanks!
Only the -505 and the -504 were not fully visible in my pics.
At least this solves the mystery regarding the -505. Hope you can confirm the same regarding the -504.

Thanks again.
