At 1420 Tuesday seven F-16s were outside with 92-0019 missing.

Thanks Wayne. Any F-16s running yet?

ASENA99 KC-135R pinging on the ground at this time.

Just passed west of Fairford and descending through 8k ft.

More specifically, 17 squadron has ZM135, 138 and 165 at Edwards, CA, and ZM170 at Patuxent River, MD. ZM136 is/was at Ogden ALC (Hill AFB), UT for mods. ZM171 is with LMTAS at Fort Worth, not yet handed over. Aditionally, ZM144 and 145 are with FRCE at Cherry Point, NC for rework. And yes, as alre...

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

Excellent record shots of burning Jags down low.

Seems like higher block F-16s and multi role Rafale is all they really need, and probably Rafale alone would do the job. Stick everything else on webuyanyfighterjet.com (and get ripped off) and buy a load of them. Swiss Tony could help, i'll find his number

That weather will be at the airfield by 10 and then take a couple of hours to clear so maybe another delay. Although that type would be able to depart in bad weather if needed.

Another page suggesting departure refiled for 10:00.

Wind slightly favours 09, but only just.

Anyone ever had a migraine with visual disturbance......?

Lots of kit out around base. Just have to wait and see.

There is (or was) only one flying Mig-23 in the US, so must be the same. Are there still any Mig-23 flying anywhere? Maybe in Africa? North Korea, possibly Libya. I think Cuba still operates a few, but they must be ripe for retirement soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-23#Oper...

In one of the photos it looks like a GR4 centreline pylon has been fitted to an SU-24 wing root pylon allowing for carriage.

The trolling above asking what seems to be quite a concise question isn't really necessary.

Perhaps the quote regarding the C-130s capabilities the A400 cant cover could suggest its service life may be extended. Time will tell..

Yes - the eastern end of the layby is open.

Thanks for the reply.

I just popped up to the Harmston layby very briefly and there was space for at least another 8/9 cars. On google maps street view this lay-by is coned and taped off. To help prep for my near 4hr journey on Monday is this lay-by currently open whilst the ex is on in case i miss parking the WAVE? Tha...

Anyone else notice the Greek F-16 turn over the crowd in afterburner at Eastern end on Friday morning when practicing? Presumably a bit wide when getting bearings for display line and a small warning inbound.

I know not everyone will be happy unless a Madagascan MiG-21 (they really did exist) and a USN A-7 do a pairs A2A demo, but i'm happy with that line up given the current world situation. Thanks RIAT.
