A7-HHJ confirmed, landed on Rwy 18R at 1802 hrs

Dakota, zo te zien de PH-PBA, zojuist over Hilversum in noordelijke richting.

PH-ECJ and PH-EQU are based I believe, and PH-EMS comes here to refuel.
Chances of seeing movements, or any helicopters outside the hangar, are never very good, though.

Ja, dat zal best

Ik heb nu wel gevonden dat de Russische eerste vice-premier Viktor Zoebkov in Den Haag is. Het gaat over het gas, dus dan kan er wel zo'n grote kist vanaf. Alleen was de man er gisteren al, da's dan wel weer gek.

Weet iemand waarom de Il-96 hier is?

Dank
Peter

Just noted while trying to photograph the RAF C-17 that the crash gate near the corner Vijfhuizerweg/Hoofdweg Oostzijde has been replaced with regular fence, so you'd need a stepladder at that point now.

Owww, any ideas whether 18C and 18R, or only 18R will be in use at 1440 hours? Question: why doesn't this flight go to Eindhoven? AMS is closer to the military hospital in Utrecht? Why do the RAF C-130s come to AMS by the way? I understand it's for cheaper fuel, but is AMS fuel cheaper than EIN fuel...

Seen at Amsterdam Heliport at 11 AM:

G-TOPC AS.355F-1 Ecureuil

I haven't seen an EHHA topic before, but the Amsterdam - Schiphol subforum description suggests it should be in here.

LX-JFP P-180 Avanti II due 14:30L (13:30z) from Oslo, departing at 15:50L (14:50z) to Nice. This is a new aircraft and I think the first P-180 for Jetfly. The c/n is still unknown to me. c/n 1176 according to http://mikemoro.mi.ohost.de/journal/2009/31_february_2009.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.h...

Still from Riyadh (RUH)? And does this favour 18C or 18R for landing, anyone?

Thanks, Peter

It's indeed a strange statement. ASW and armed versions of the Mi-4 were obviously in service a long time ago, 1960s-ish. I don't think that was unknown to the West at that time and certainly, I have a book much older than ten years which mentions these versions (they're not conversions). It may be ...
