The Casa C-101 Aviojets, of Patrulla Aguila, are in their last few weeks of service with the Spanish Air & Space Force. I was fortunate to be witness to a practice display of 6 x C-101s at San Javier AB, Murcia on 6th May 2025. A farewell airshow is planned for 14 & 15 June 2025 https://www.aire25.e...

Thanks for the feedback - becoming a little more challenging along Northern Avenue (for runway 21 arrivals at Luke) as most of the north side is being dug up at the moment with roadworks in place - not sure why it is being dug up, though. Still plenty photographic opportunity either side of the road...

Thank you for the positive feedback everyone - as a ‘first-time’ contributor of photos it is greatly appreciated. To answer tim_raper - Luke is ‘challenging’. The F-35A shot was taken in the undershoot of runway 21L just north of Northern Avenue - I think the secret is to keep moving with only limit...

I am pretty sure that the F4 take-off incident was on the Sunday morning of the Bournemouth Airshow and was definitely towards the end of August 1984. I was standing on the public north side of the airfield (where all the static was parked) chatting to a couple of friends. North side was relatively ...

Sorry to hi-jack the post but does anybody know the serial of the KC-135 just to the left of the Folly Road Alley? It has no based markings on the tail, I intended to go back and get it but completely forgot

38008

Could only see the tail from Folly but had 141 ARW on the boom.

You are quite correct EGVP - the 24 point binary code is reduced to the 6 point hex code which is allocated to a particular airframe - hence the registration ‘appears’ to the appropriate receiver once the hex code is received and translated. I, personally, don’t give a jot about what ‘reg’ appears o...

Is it deliberate or a lazy avionics engineer - should be a quite simple task to update the aircraft ID when a box is taken off one aircraft and subsequently fitted to a second aircraft? The box doesn't transmit the reg, hence the need for a database, which falls out of date when a box-swap takes pl...

It was closed, due flooding, a couple of weeks ago. Not sure of it’s current status.
