Laten we het maar hierrrrr houden dan.

Beautiful!

ASN report - so far - here: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/345861 It links to a source article that says the plane 'missed its landing'. The Wagner suggestion comes from a commenter below it, who also suggests the plane had been shot at. He is then called dishonest by another commenter, statin...

Very very nice gents. Even just in static display this would be a great collection of aeroplanes but to have them all flying is another dimension! Hopefully I will for a change not miss it next year but admiring your photos makes up partly for not being there. Many thanks.

Nice, and very useful observations, thanks!

Indications not clear? Un...

Thanks for the link. A longer quote on the nature of the emergency: After launching from runway 23 of Willow Run airport (YIP) in Ypsilanti, Michigan as part of the Thunder Over Michigan air show, the MiG-23 pilot executed a right turn into a so-called “banana pass” – a low-level knife-edge pass alo...

Hans, many thanks for chipping in. However, as it has become obvious over the past two years or so that any change to Scramble takes a big effort to realise (including a cost aspects) I for one will not be 'pushing' this feature to be implemented until several more urgent matters have been solved.
