Re: GAF Eurofighter Designation
From experience in earlier jobs I suspect that the MAM designations are assumed given the build numbers of GS*** & GT*** for the German singles and twins. Also in correspondence with German crews they invariably referred to the aircraft as EF2000 and EF2000T for single and twin respectively.

Kinloss - 8 October 2020
Made the trip up to Kinloss last week to catch some Bolthole activity before the move back to Lossiemouth.

Assuming the A-29s are in the group the support Dornier is currently on an easterly heading over KSA tracking toward Damman/Bahrain.

Re: Passenger accidentally ejects from Rafale
Yes and no .Yes it is selected from the front but No in this case the cockpit switch was set to common allowing either the pilot or rear seat to initiate the ejection. Dependant on aircraft type.

Re: International Sanicole Airshow, 11-13 September 2020 (BE)
I guess a lot will hang on whether nations have actually invested in continuing to train and authorise (Public Display Authority) their display crews for what could turn out to be a very small number of airshows in a massively depleted last quarter of the year. I suspect shows will be way down in th...
