DRAGON99 (80-1071) out at 0900L for an hour of circuits

They are going back to Whiteman

One thing to bear in mind is that if you transpose aircraft taken against grey skies onto a blue sky background, the lighting on the aircraft (presumably no sun) will not match the 'blue skies' where you would expect sun. Having tried to cobble together cricket squad photos taken on 2 different nig...

What evidence are you basing you statement on? Have you any link that you can share which states this?

That F-15C was returning from Baltic Air Policing in Lithuania, was one that went tech and didn't return with the others. That also explains the Lithuanian C-27 bringing back equipment for the 493rd.

Wow, nice catch. Google suggests a LIDAR system in the canoe fairing. Another weird Global Express. Yep its a LIDAR system that is being worked on by Scitor Corporation. Taken from http://lignesdedefense.blogs.ouest-france.fr and Translated from French Scitor Corporation, a very discreet US company...

Nice one Swiss, lets hope next year is a bit more busier

Nice catch Chris!

I believe the missile system is the Israeli-made Rafael SPIKE NLOS

Is fuel injected into the jetpipe differently or are the SU30s engines that inefficient that there is enough excess air in the exhaust gases to burn the fuel that is injected!! Couple theories: 1. The 'normal' engine stages consume less oxygen than Wester...
