Re: Dutch CH-47F

i also noticed that the new F's for the RNLAF have no radar in the nose? what will happen to the 6 delivered earlier, will they lose the radar too? I'm not sure but I believe the remanufacturing of the 6 "old" CH-47F models is basically putting components of these 6 into new airframes. So yes, I th...

Noted flying from Leeuwarden on Feb 3/4/5 was J-616, the oldest KLu F-16 still flying. So still active in 2020 (should be retired soon though).
Gaat de J-616 FF2020 nog halen? Hoop nog een plaat van deze oudgediende met de F-35 te kunnen maken..

Re: HOOGVLIEGERS Trailer Reaction Video

Merendeel zal het niet opvallen maar er zitten best wel leuke "knipogen" in de serie, zo hebben een aantal meer of minder bekende Luchtmachters een kleine bijrol (die drill sergeant uit het eerste Amerikaanse deel om maar iemand te noemen). Op een gegeven moment komt, bij de uitreiking van de wing, ...

Re: EHGR 14-11-2019

Ik vraag me af of deze en de andere weer luchtwaardige AH-64D's inmiddels van de update zijn voorzien naar de nieuwe standaard: de AH-64E. De kisten zijn allemaal nog op D standaard, als ze naar de E standaard gaan is er wel wat meer werk en tijd nodig, het is meer herbouwen dan updaten.. Er is bij...

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

Is there anyone who can confirm that AN-9, the first Italian build RNLAF F-35 and future F-009, already made its first flight last month (July)?

I read something about it a few weeks ago but cannot find this item anymore.

EHEH 06-04-2019 MIL

Noticed that the French C-135FR 474 left Eindhoven today. Only the British Voyager and the German A-310MRTT remaining for EART (besides our own old lady).

Re: Spanish CASA 295 crash 03apr19

Video from the same facebook site here

Strange, looks like it touched down to early, hit a bump, went off the runway and failed to stop ( or tried go-around??)

Short visit to the slopes today. Was lucky to catch 1 of the 2 F models before they will return to the US. Boeing will upgrade the six Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) Chinook helicopters to the latest F-model configuration, ensuring commonality of systems for their entire fleet of 20 F-model Chi...
