Scramble Messageboard

Help required! Early on Monday 6th Feb we made an overflight of the facility but suffered a "camera malfunction". In the area known as the South Maintenace Shelter (not actually a shelter these days) were the following; 6 x MH-60, 3 x MQ-8, 3 x F-16, 2 x AH-1 & an F-15 for which GMAP have been very ...

Heaven forbid the ramps will be full of innumerable European piston powered so called aerobatic teams. When I go to an airshow in Italy I want 1 Euro pizza and hundreds of Italian military aeroplanes (& a couple of Spillone). And what serious photographer shoots inside at an airshow

....in happier days!

Erik, with the 100 Anni flypast this month, 100 Anni airshow in June (& NTM later), just about everyone & their uncle (or aunt) will be in or around Rome this year. Scuderia Baldini http://www.scuderiabaldini.com/ whether you need the Spilone or not should be top of the list, maybe FC will have a se...

I believe the (Royal) Australian Air Force still tank their Boeing and Lockheed Martin fighter jets, plus Boeing surveillance fleet from Airbus airtankers, so it's still g'day and not g'nite Airbus yet down under

Oops, yes, Mar, edited
DCGFF & DCARL indeed
The F-35s were mentioned by local sources prior to the event .....
Reports of Chinese balloon participation can also be discounted

The F-16D backseater is not Greek I think. Probably the TLP "referee". Look at his helmet & flightsuit, different colour/type than the pilot in front.. It also was not part of a 2- or 4-ship. My Eeenglis not so good: "with the pilot of the last one back, 053" not the back seater, and 053 is a singl...

A few changes since Monday, the following flew (unless otherwise stated) yesterday, 2nd Mar: FA-82, 97, 104 & 132 - with one or two others on ground (124 & ??) [CT-07 (ADSB) may have arrived this morning, Friday] The Navy Hornets as listed except the CAG bird which remained earthbound. JG-74: 30+53,...

Below (from my photographer) is how all the 22nd ARW Pegasii look now, at least they still (10th Feb) have the serials on the tail.
Equally worrying is that a 317th C-130J has just visited my local jetport and not "pinged" on either ADSB nor FR24 (thankfully not reqd!)

Arriving here this evening we spotted eight USN/USMC Hornets. Twas a tad dark but identified with help from below: WS401/165208 so cols, 407/165404 & 410/165211 ie the three noted earlier at North Island. AF501/168942 & AF504/166899 - serials from crew (so EA-18Gs, thanks Cap'n!) SH101/164903, 130/1...

This exercise seems to have ended yesterday with a pair of Indian AF C-17As (CB-8005 & CB-8011 per ADSB) visiting Hyakuri,
whilst IL-78MKI KJ-3449 landed in Naha. Photo credit "suta-oi-san"
KJ-3449 by not me, on Flickr

F-11 primer, Aussie A39-002 light grey, special 100 years marks (F-10 is in Malta being painted)

So probably just before you were there, MSN129 with an RAF/UK flash on the tail was pushed back in the hangar (that the 131 came out of), and Canadian 509 was also behind the hangars.
