Re: US Civilian Mig 23 crash
It's OK for us, most fans are interested in its military past anyway. The rules on your site will always amuse me. As a former military pilot, I am always surprised by you "flexible" rules for somones but not for everyone. I am interested in warbirds too, but I would never search this new...

Re: Help needed for Arizona
Here are some of my shots from Luke, landing shots were taken from W Bethany Home Rd. Was shooting with a local photog and had no problem, but this was 7 years ago. Take off shots are from the North End. Road says no parking, but we parked and had no trouble with police. I never hit PHX as my wife ...

Re: UK Sea Kings to Ukraine
FNF Rafale, not sure what you are trying to say here. Are you suggesting that the SeaKings are being flown by mercenary pilots? I never wrote that. UK instructors in Poland are regular service men. Their position is legal. The Ukrainians regular trained crews have joined the Southern part of the co...

Re: UK Sea Kings to Ukraine
Does anyone know where the (I suppose Ukrainian) pilots for these SeaKings have been trained? Scramble master ???. 😲 (for the number of posts but maybe not for the expertise.🧐) Are you kidding ?...

CL-415 crash near Catania Another sad news... :-( Once again, like in 90% of the accidents, the human factor comes first. Sadly, what can be seen on these two videos is that the CL-415 was following the mountain's ridge. At that moment, he could not see the fire. When the crew discovered the place, ...
