Lovely reminder of a much missed classic. The fully tanked 104 is now preserved at Tessenderlo in Belgium. Saw it last week.

Surely someone has a photo or two of the KC-135As departing the hall using water injection!!
Seem to remember vast numbers doing this returning the F-111F's to the states, or are the grey cells at fault??

Former Heritage jet with the 493rd 84-0010 was photographed in June 23 in the colours of 104 FS / 175 Wing / Maryland ANG with the name 'Town of Westhampton'. It went into Warner Robbins PDM prior to this allocation after initially with Massachusetts ANG Think you will find this is 104FW Massachuse...

Yet RIAT have on theirconfirmed list!!

Les Invalides was a good spot, but this year the flypast is supposed to be over Vincennes due to the Olympics. I'd only be guessing but there is a clear area to the south of the area which looks like a showground of some sorts?

Thanks to TAFFEVANS for the update on the accident date to ZM499. I was only going off what we were told on the day. Further to my initial post here is a log of the day Hawk ZK017/H/4, ZK023/N/4, ZK018/I/4, ZK035/FK/25, ZK020/K/4, (ZK021)/L/4, (ZK024)/O/4, (ZK031)/FG/25, (ZK012)/C/4, ZK011/B/4, (ZK0...

Great selection Phil but what's with the G91 towards the end of the sequence - it appears to be resting upside down on the ground?!

Its at the MAXXI Art Museum in Rome. Apparently its an art installation. Need I say more?

Afternoon Keith, smashing pictures you got there especially against that blue sky. I wonder if the sight of all those assets slowed the traffic down on the A15! Cheers Regards Glenn :thumb: Certainly did! At one point someone in a hired enterprise van STOPPED on the A17 to ask a spotter what was go...

I understand the info may not be available or up for dissemination yet, but is there to be a flight leaders practice followed by a full practice ? I have a bit of a trek so would prefer to "see" the full practice. KB Full practice will be carried out elsewhere - the F35 section were doing a delta l...

Looks like the Texans may be the whips in place of the old Hawks.

I'd think the squawks includes air spares - more aircraft will launch then needed, plus there will be a 'whip' for some parts of the formation as well.

Good point Mike. Hadn't thought of that. KB

Thanks for posting the list. Very helpful. I do note that the number of sqwarks for some formations exceeds the number of aircraft stated. Is there a rational explanation for this or is there something we do not know at this stage?

Now thats a photo post

Does anyone know if the above is a true reflection of a KC46s capability? It seems fairly wasteful to use two tankers to bring 2x F35s each across the med to the heath!
