Dunno about the 26th, but on the 29th it was JA08KZ

Nice catch!

Is that an ECM fit we see there (in front of the cabin windows)?

Both Hellas Aviation Fokker 50's (ex PH-KVE/F) are still stored on a taxiway at Athens-Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (together with the two other F50's they acquired and a lot of former Olympic aircraft). As such, I saw them there on 05 and 10 November, 2009. Apparently, Hellas did not start up yet ...

Looks like the sostar x radar ...but it isn't, if you read the Lockheed press release quoted in the message above yours! It's the suite that carries the EOTS (Electro Optical targeting System) for the F-35 Lightning II. It comprises FLIR and IRST (Infra Red Search and Track) systems and makes up fo...

next one: the RNNavy Lynx heading west over Almere around 1430-1435 on December 15?

Good PR for the Boeing guys; impressive livestream, nice flight tracker... the works! But, most important of all, a beautiful bird up where she belongs... Finally!

I would not go quite as far as that, but the result of this attitude is F-16 jockeys intercepting an Airbus (or ANY airliner, for that matter) and "identifying" it as a "Boeing type"

Nice report, very nice event. It felt good to be back on the team and it felt even better to end third! One thing that struck me (and is obvious from the report as well): 19 years ago when the NSK started there were a lot of "young" spotters and a few "older" ones; this year it was the other way rou...

Referring of the move of Bo105 B-77: I can confirm that this actually happened. Around 10:30 lt I was on the A27 motorway heading south when I saw it passing in the opposite direction in the vicinity of Houten. As mentioned above, it was being transported by truck/lowloader and still carried the jub...

Noted yesterday on the A27 motorway in the Netherlands in the vicinity of Houten and heading north, MBB Bo.105 B-77 (ex RNLAF) on a Dutch AF trailer. The aircraft was stored in its special jubilee colours at Gilze Rijen AB the last ... umpty years but apparently is on the move. No more information k...

6668 is preserved just behind the main gate of Larissa AB. Our group could not take photos of it (and the other aircraft preserved there). For some reason, the Greek AF DOES allow you to take pictures of operational aircraft, but -generally- NOT of the aircraft preserved near the gates (probably bec...

According to a photo on Airliners.net, A.109E Power SP-HXA of the Polish Air Rescue Service suffered a serious incident at Warsaw on November 20, 2009. Its tail has come off and the main rotors are damaged and/or detached. Heavy landing? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Lotnicze-Pogotowie-Ratunkowe/Ag...
