Hi John, Indeed, this is very personal. I consider myself the "Imelda Marcos" of camera bags, I have about eight now :-) I do have some obvious ones (LowePro Trekker and DörrXL that both pack a two big lense outfit), a really huge one that packs all (ThinkTank airport addicted), a Crumpler...

EvD, the 8 Apaches that arrived were parked outside. Visible from the 08 landing where we were that moment. Somewhere near tha hangar next to the one with the Chinooks. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] Thanks <<Rabbit>>! Saw them arrive, but did not read them (too far...) Identified any of them? rgd...

Oh btw, we read 95_48 on one of the Apaches parked beside the C-5. Maybe(!) this was 85548?

Erwin

I-EASJ is a A109SP 'GrandNew' - it says so on the side :-) These A109S/SP Grand/GrandNew are distinguishable because they have two evenly sized square side-windows aft of the door. Just discovered that myself, I am by no means a specialist :-)) In comparison, the A109E Power/LUH have a big and small...
