Re: Port visits NL 2017

Re: Flankers 5 foot from RC-135

Don't know why the USAF and RAF RC-135 have to sniff around almost every day along the coast of Kalingrad almost every day. It's like they want to provoke a conflict, as I can not imagine there is so much new informationnto gather every day ... Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) is the reason I guess.. ...

Re: Portugal to buy KC-390

Nice indeed, but at the same time I'm a bit puzzled why a nation like Portugal invests in no less than 5 of these tankers for such a small fleet of F-16's they have now. Or is will these also be used for pan-European / NATO transport/tanker capacity (EATC)? Or is this an example on how far you can b...

Re: [REQ] Spotting at Nancy BA133

Check: http://www.scramble.nl/airfield-guide/nancy-ochey (this one is open to all, not only to subscribers..)
