So like others I was not expecting a delivery, so I right clicked on the here and copied the link address, I went over to office w...

Re: USAF EA-37B Updates

But now the query - I have since read another version of the above, that suggests that N518GA and N522GD are not part of the USAF order, and are going somewhere else instead? Does anyone have any further information on this, or, even better, any clue on what the IDs of the missing 3 airframes might...

I've used HDEW before, they even arranged for the delivery to arrive on a specific day for me due to work. Can't fault them TBH.

Re: Belgian Air Force Days 9th & 10th September 2023

I went through Brussels airport yesterday to meet up with overs going to KB. The passport control was an absolute sh!tshow with one guy processing nearly 200 visitors, it increased after quite a few arguements between passengers and staff, the cops had to step in a few times. Eventually 5 staff proc...

Re: Departures timetable .

Vampire? Did I miss this or is it still there. Maybe departed before p&v opened? The Vampire departed at around 14:45 hours?, it was shown on the PlanesTV stream. It departed at 1156 local according to the (GPS slaved) clock on my camera. Ye gods, I must have lost all track of time! :blush: :lol:

Re: RAF squadron suffixes

I know a chap who was on the Army side of things as V (AC) Sqn was forming up on the Sentinel at Waddington. He said that the Generals were not very happy with the RAF's Roman numeral squadron numbering as V stood for 'volunteer' in the Army not as number 5!

It's going to be yet another nail in the coffin for the Taipan service record if a mechanical issue is found to have been the issue as the ADF cannot wait to get rid of both Airbus helicopter types out of service soon enough to be replaced by the 25 x Apache E and 40 x Blackhawk before 2025.
