4 Fokker Instructors at Schipol

Hi Folks. It's 70 years today since the first flight of the Fokker S-11 Instructor, which took place at Schipol. Today, at about 1220 local, a formation of four appeared overhead. It looked to me like they landed, but it may have just been a flyby. The 'Fokker Four', for it was surely them, actually...

Re: Aero India 2017. Yelahanka Air base. Bangalore

I suppose if we knew the mil serials of #99 and #101, the detective work could begin, but I've never seen a reference anywhere to HAL built Hawk c/ns.

'HAL100' is clearly not a civ registration, neither does it look like a serial...

Re: Aero India 2017. Yelahanka Air base. Bangalore

Thanks for those Yak tie ups. Very quick indeed! Saw a few Indian guys that I know there- but no sign of any Brits or Europeans, still, its a 5 day thing so maybe another log will appear soon. It's a great show for taking photos if anyone ever thinks of going. The light is always from behind you and...

Aero India 2017. Yelahanka Air base. Bangalore

Hi Folks. I visited this show yesterday (18 Feb). Here's the log. This might be helpful to anyone else that visited and I made a few 'schoolboy errors' myself, so if anyone else was there I hope they'll post a log up. North side Mi-8 area Z2895 Mi-17 ZP5157, ZP5177 Mi-17 Z2968 (hangared- bit of a bl...

ta. :D

I believe ZH900 was also around. Did you read 896 that morning? It flew away at about 0900?

Turns out the pair of Kraguj were 30140 & 30146. Both based and ex Yugoslav AF.

Also, looking at my pix on't puter, I was surprised to see a pair of Soko Kraguj parked behind the Chinook. Unluckily for me, it was too windy for t...

Re: Swingy

Although I'm not a 'regular' on here, I ran into 'Swingy' on a base visit to Edwards AFB last April. Recognising another Scottish accent, we got yakking and teamed up to try and see as much as we could during the tour. He mentioned that he'd been at the D-M Airshow, and also spent some quality time ...
