Scramble Messageboard

To add to the translation: it is (probably) untrue that the decision to stop flying came "out of the blue" ( :twisted: ). The date of October, 6 was publicly set by a French economic court at Pontoise, who last monday ruled that the company was to close down by that day (Oct.6) following a period of...

Yep, that is their (and our) fate: in the end we all turn grey :wink: . Greek Herks are receiving this "brilliant" scheme during a heavy maintenance/modification programme. As the Greek budget is somewhat constrained at the moment, it might still take some time before all Herks will be dulled down l...

Hmm, the colour scheme reminds me of a Polish registered Antonov that was parked at Besancon-Thise (France) in 2003, more than 7 years ago. At the time, the people at the airfield told me that it was theoretically airworthy but had not flown for some years. Aircraft involved was registered SP-FVM. T...

EW-294PA confirmed by good old Mk.1 Eyeball.

Beetje gegoocheld:
B737-505 c/n 26338/2822 ex B-2975 Xiamen AL, delivered to BRU 07-04-2010

Wow, that last one... and I thought that the Greek A-7's at Agrinion looked really bad..! Boy, was I wrong... Must have been a great trip though.

Tower, thanks for sending the tanker.. but where is the refuelling boom? we told you we badly need gas!

During an airshow at Lilinghof, 35 km NE of Nürnberg, well-known DH.82A Tiger Moth D-EBKT crashed into the public area today. According to German TV the aircraft, regular participant in the DH82A formation teams, went out of control during take-off and ended up in the audience. Unfortunately, one pe...

Translation of the post above, made in Dutch by Herman Dekker, who is very knowledgeable on the subject of dutch registrations and who has access to the official files of the Dutch Government's Aviation Authority: it is highly unlikely that the registration (PH-BVH) is or will be reserved for KLM at...

Not the best of pictures, but the best result possible due to location: USS Mount Whitney (LCC-20) was moored near the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam in central Amsterdam today. On deck was MH-60S 166322/BR-41 of HSC-28 with COMSIXTHFLT titles (and -invisible in the picture- nice nose art). Could not ...

De Mount Whitney is het vlaggeschip/commandoschip van de Amerikaanse Zesde Vloot en hoort thuis in Italië... de helo zou dan dus een MH-60S Knighthawk moeten zijn...

Er was in ieder geval een Bluebird vroeg op pad: de Alouette (welke?) kwam om 07.30 over Almere richting noorden.

In de afdeling "die was vroeg wakker" kwam er vanmorgen, 4 augustus, om 07.30 een KLu-Alouette over Almere richting noorden. Is toevallig bekend welke?

... that's exactly why I asked if somebody KNOWS

Ah, dan heeft 'ie ze vast meegenomen . Dan ga ik ook maar eens op vakantie denk ik; komt 't daarna wel weer. Thanks!

INteresting development; could anyone tell which F-16 is used for these tests please?
