Re: Trumps asking NATO Countries to increase defence spending again.

Trump’s a business man who wants a deal so he’ll ask for 5 and settle for 3-3.5

Re: USAF DARK & DECK Flights Approaches

Interesting Lakenheath based F35s making approaches yesterday using the call signs DARK and DECK. All had external stores under the wings, something I've not seen on F35s around Valley before. Did anyone get the serials of the aircraft and information about what was being carried please? DARK were ...

Re: The week they pulled the plug on the Jags

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I was lucky, right time right place for once. Doubtful I'll ever get up there again, I'm afraid my days of gadding about are just about done. That's why I love this site so much at least I can keep tabs on whats going on even if I rarely see a fast jet these days....

Re: ZK015 and ZK030

They haven’t flown since late 2022. They’re probably in storage in the T2 hangar at Valley along with a few more which haven’t flown since 18.1.2023 due to the engine issues which have affected the fleet. To date the only ones which have flown since then are: ZK010/011/012/013/016/017/018/019/020/02...
