Re: Zeltweg Airpower 2-4 September 2022. Participants, etc....

Can somebody tell me if a "boldercar" (small wagen) is allowed on the field? Regards austria If it is allowed; Zeltweg is so incredibly crowded that you will not do yourself (and 299.999 others) a favour with dragging a bolderkar around. I once tried to reach some friends who were a few hundred met...

Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + what followed

There have been some pictures of Su-25s returning to base with excessive damage. It is known that Chornobaivka has been hit more than anyone can count anymore. Only from one of the first hits some pictures have emerged of destroyed helicopters (and these are listed by Oryx), other than that, no inf...

Re: Anatolian Eagle 2022 - Konya

Now I know where to look for to see the differences between the common Su-25 and the Su-25BM. I couldn't find any c/n on the 33 bl photos unfortunately. The 09 bl had clearly "10649" on the underwing pilon. Anybody for the c/n of the 33 BLUE ? Unfortunately nothing visible on the exterior of the ai...

Re: Anatolian Eagle 2022 - Konya

Thanks for the help so far guys! Only two question remain: - What is the exact type of the Azerbaijan Su-25's? And what is the c/n of 33bl. - Turkish F-16s 91-0001 and 92-0008 both 162 Filo markings, according various websites this sqn is disbanded. Is this reactivated? Do they still belong to 6 AJ...

Re: New F-35 in Europe?

*Nostalgia Mode On* Nice opportunity to reactivate the 32FS ”Wolfhounds“ :wink: *Nostalgia Mode Off* CR Lightnings. Great idea! ;-) Not exactly as I meant it, but if there are going to be additional squadrons at the Heath, then why not a revival of the 32FS (with LN tailcode) 8) One thing is for su...

Build in 1965,already 57 years old, and still flying :respect: Not so special. Every single KC-135 is older than this one. Hoever I prefer this Tp86 above every 135. Well Dennis, I cannot resist engaging in a little discussion about this one, it is just too tempting.. :wink: You might be right but ...

Re: Conflict in Ukraine: military movements & news

Looking at ADS-B Exchange replay, they were fast jets from Powidz, likely fighters. Several Herky flights went there today as well, on a roundtrip Ramstein-Prestwick-Powidz-RS. From what I've seen, ae.... hex codes tend to be USAF, or at least US mil. New fighter deployment? Erik Think the VMFA-323...

Re: KC-135s at ETAD. Help needed for the overview . Your input please

Correct but has the grey Fairchild tailband. Does not have a tailband at all actually, as most AMC Tankers do nowadays. Maybe tailband is the wrong description but I mean the 2 horizontal black stripes, that is not standard AMC right? Well AMC decided not to apply markings on the tails of its KC-46...

Re: ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + what followed

Here is a link to an article about that Su-25 crash with a general as the pilot. Apparently, it was an already retired Major-General. In the last paragraphs it is noted that he was kicked out because he flew a Su-27 without having the type rating for it... and then crashed it. And before that, he a...

Just to confirm to update the pinned overview, all KC-10s are gone now and are replaces by those four Fairchild KC-135s right?

Thanks!
Negative Frank, 57-1439 has 22ARW markings as had one of the aircraft initially deployed here.
