My effort for this month

Thought this would happen when the USAF said there were going to be 2 F-15E and 2 F-35 squadrons based at Lakenheath. The only available room really was the HAS site currently used by the HH-60G Pave Hawk's

Hi Chaps I am thinking of starting a business offering tours to European airshows and would be interested in what people thought of the idea. I have put together a trip to visit the ILA show in Berlin in June next year. This would be based on a 3 star hotel located on Alexanderplatz approx located 3...

My response would be as been said if you think £40 is to high dont go pure and simple.

I think it is on the high side, but how often do you get the chance to do this type of thing. The Answer is no often,

I think that looks stunning.
I full understand the watermark, having had one my pictures taken in the past week by someone else who then passed of as his own, sign of the times that we live i am afraid.

As has been said does it matter why they did it, they did and its something abit different, the problem is that some people just want to complain about something. You have people saying RIAT should get something special, and not run of the mill, RIAT do this with 2 x P-1's from Japan and then people...

None the Tornado's when they left on Monday didnt had the special TTTE tails

I thought it was quite a nice touch for the static, the point I dont really know, but here is an out field idea, we all know that German front line jets dont often fly at airshow, and the RAF have not had a Tornado flying for a number of years in shows, it could have been RIAT's solution to getting ...

Here is a list of everything that is based there:- Hope its useful Type Serial Tailcode Wing Squadron B-52H 60-0036 412 TW 419 FLTS B-52H 60-0050 412 TW 419 FLTS C-135A 60-0377 Stored museum NKC-135R 61-0320 412 TW 445 FLTS T-38A 61-0810 ED Preserved on base NT-38A 61-0849 ED Preserved museum T-38C ...

Just a quick question as Cosford is a one day show does anybody have any idea about which day the PDA's will take place Friday or Saturday?

Hi The point is we all know that some places like switzerland welcome aviation enthusiasts with open arms and make spotting as easy and as enjoyable as possible. We all know that some places don't like spotting at all and will get upset if you do it. You have to apply a comsense filter to the situat...

Very sad day. For all concerned and the end of an era for all. Just been reading this stuff and Lakenheath is getting an extra 1,200 personal, this may mean that the F-15E's are staying. By the time the F-35 turns up at Lakenheath, the F-15C's operated by the 493rd FS would be pretty much out of ser...

In way not surprised at all by the closure of a UK base, US have been unhappy for sometime about UK cuts in their defence spending, I think this is the US showing that they aren't willing to put with any more. The report doesn't say what will be happening with the F-15E's I wonder if they will be st...

Anybody else notice that the writing on the F-20 is back to front..........

Like lot of people I go down to RIAT from Wednesday to Monday, I do the PV and Wednesday Thursday Monday, and used to do Friday as well but since it has changed I do go into the show on Friday. I used to do the Farms on the outside Saturday and Sunday, but since the Mrs now comes down, and can only ...

Hi Chaps I have created a web site selling military memorabilia and collectables. Its only a small site at the moment but we are hoping to grow it over the next few months. If there is something you like please feel to PM me on here or contact me or my son via the web site..... If there is something...

Dont think they can have Hawk T-2 as the current ones arent owned by the RAF, so a new order would have to be placed which I am sure would breach some deal with BAe Systems. Dont think they will have Typhoon's either due to the cost of the airframe and the cost per flight hour of £50,000+ assuming t...

Hi Chaps
Here is my effort for this month taken at Payerne



All the best
Rainbow

Hi Chaps I have said for years that the cuts have been far to deep, I think next year when we have the next SDR, I think you will see an increase in defence spending, I suspect we will either buy or lease P-8's I think we will do a split purchase of F-35's between the F-35A for RAF and F-35B RN, I t...

Rumour I have heard is that the exercise will still take place but will not be open to the public due to amount of people who went in 2012, and the issues they had getting people down from the mountain.
