Su-22s at Hanoi

Taken through an aircraft window so not too sharp...plus heat haze...but thought may be of interest. https://vietnamaircraftxmas2015.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_9941.jpg?w=680 https://vietnamaircraftxmas2015.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/img_11771.jpg?w=680 https://vietnamaircraftxmas2015.files.wo...

Re: Fairford 22 October 2015

If you have a look at the NOTAMs for today, the Swanwick Mil freqs were changed around, so the lack of comms is probably because they were on non-standard freqs.

Mi-17 N175RU

Scaring the living daylights out of the surfers and swimmers - never mind the holidaying spotter - was this Mil, flying below 500 feet along the north Florida coast. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WeuX6XI3OYg/TpCncNNijNI/AAAAAAAACtA/sHMtztP3CUw/s640/DSC_0169.JPG After dark, a cammo example was twice seen...

Unfortunately it's dark, so couldn't read any serial. Google Earth of Eglin shows a C-32 on its own parking spot ready for action but the imagery i...

Re: Tonopah Test Range 7-Oct-10

I stuck it here http://aroundtherange.blogspot.com/ as I'm too simple to work out how to get the image to show in the body here.
