Many people, like me, use Swarovskis, which are the same sort of price band.
Whichever, brand you go for, I recommend you buy the most expensive one you can afford. Quality improves dramatically with price...

The Beech 300LWs have (all?) been withdrawn.
For example, N80LW is now with the Middle Tennessee State University at Murfreesboro.

Are we OK to post reported specific losses? If not, may I refer you to Denys Davidov’s youtube post regarding an A50 in Belarus.
Would anyone on here really care if we reported Russian losses?......

Re: Cobra Warrior 23

It is a bit strange that India cancelled last year with 5 Tejas because of the Russian situation, and now a story comes out that they've cancelled this year with the exact same jets for the exact same reason, after being rumoured to be bringing different jets for the past couple of months.

I don't think 80-0053 has ever been based at Nellis. It's been based at Eglin with the 85th TES for over 20 years.

There is no evidence of any of the ex French aircraft flying as yet. They received 40, of which 13 were supposed to fly and 27 for spares.

Re: Montgomery RAP/Dannely Field

The F-16s live in barns, but you can read some from the road running along the north side.
The Army NG area is less easy to see into - it is in a remote area on the south side.
No idea about photos.

Re: Mobile - Bates RAP

The Army NG are easy to read from outside, assuming there are any outside (it can be hit and miss). The USCG less so, their ramp is a fair distance away, so any haze will prevent you from reading serials, although if you are lucky you might be able to get one or two from the gate area.

Any chance you could put the date in the title rather than “today” please?
