Re: AirVG Zagreb 11-5-24

Many thanks. We were there about 0900 L hours and they just opened the hangar with the 1 inside. Presume this is the one they towed out (with 2 believed to be at Pleso) and the other current Lucko one in the static.

Re: Nancy-Ochey (LFSO) - 2023 MIL

612 is not present at Ochey, it is only the tail which is in this area and therefore not an aircraft to log :D :D

Re: Nancy-Ochey (LFSO) - 2023 MIL

Hello again,

Interesting indeed. I would be very surprised if 612 has returned here from Chateaudun. I’m sure I saw a picture of the D getting scrapped. I also walked around this shelter area 1 year ago and it was not present.

Did you get a photo?

Thanks

Hi,

Is this confirmed? 15201 was preserved on base at Beja only in the summer of 2022.

Many thanks

Re: REQ L-159 production

It is all interesting I must say. I’d have to dig through my records but I read a couple of C/Ns, but maybe they stencil the number and C/N around the frame and use the new fuselages? I will cross match yours later, it does confirm the T2 ones which I was not sure on. So does that mean 6052 is now o...

Hi all, Interesting points above - although I am a little confused to say the least :P I visited Vodochody in detail in 2020 and confirmed a few things and there seems to be a mis-match around.

Re: Batajnica Open Day - Serbia, 22th april

Hello mate,

I have looked multiple times at photos and it looks like a 5 - we have shots from previous years of the 9 and it looks different. Do you have any photos you could share?

Yes correct with respect to the Orao in front of shelters. Should be 717 - but this is not confirmed.
