Hans,

I checked the N342DB at Oshkosh 26 July 2007 and it had c/n G-107.

No clue about N7643B. Could this have been a test registration prior to delivery to Spain?

Camera om de nek is eigenlijk wel een goede ja! Alles mee gaat niet qua limieten (gewicht/omvang) dus het is idd handig om een paar 'configuraties' te hebben. Die 2.8/300 maakt dus dat je minder andere dingen mee kunt nemen. Ik krijg wél de 4/300, de 70-200 en Fieldscope in één tas. Dat zou ik met d...

Lachen dat plakken van converters!
Ik heb tegenwoordig een interface voor mijn kijker, dat is nu een F13/1000 geworden
En nee, dat levert geen gestoken scherpe plaatjes op maar de serials zijn leesbaar
Erwin

Mijn advies: uitproberen voor je investeert! Ik mocht de 2.8/300 eens vasthouden / uitproberen. Ik kreeg hem amper de lucht in met mijn iele polsjes :) Voordat ik de eerste foto nam wist ik het eigenlijk al: niet voor mij! Als je wel eens met Rynair vliegt dan zul je wel eens je handbagage op de wee...

Yeah, wouldn't it be great if aircraft manufacturers gave as much meaning to these construction numbers as we seem to do? :-) If you define construction number as the number the manufacturer sticks on a plane or plate, it is 35xx-42xx for the Gazelles If you define a construction number as a unique ...

Great work ! Some remarks: * As far as I know the Gazelle c/ns are in the 1000-2200 range. The SA342M/L probably received serials starting with 3/4 to avoid confusion with the SA341F. They were partly being build during the same period. So 1544 is a SA341F serialled 1544, but 1546 a SA342M serialled...

The one and only true An-2 meet is indeed at TEUGE. Which can be seen on our Airshow calendar! The venue's site is here: http://www.classicwings.nl/AN2meeting2011.php And for Friday August 12 it says: <quote> Picking-up time tbn from hotel directions Deventer Twello etc. Briefing 0930-1030* 1100 Hoo...

Probably at Zaporizhzhya-Shiroke 47.916746°, 34.968492°
Nearby Zaporizhzhya-East is also a treat: 47.861781°, 35.297125°
Use bing maps instead of GE

Thx Marcel!

Great stuff, the Ecuador army Ecueuil is an update to our Scramble database!
Can you send me the larger version for possible inclusion in next month's issue please?

Yes, these were quite illusive...

I can offer only one: 926/2 Black Knights jan01

Erwin

Great, have fun over there

Yep, the first AF example is indeed 8510. To make it easier for all of us, the Army uses the designation HM-4 (16x transport), the Air Force uses H-36 (16x csar & transport) & VH-36 (2x VIP) and the Navy UH-15 (8x transport) & UH-15A (8x surface warfare). The absence of any further sight...

I just discovered that the BRA002 was worn by F-ZKBG (or the other way around) in the 14-16 June 2010 timeframe. By October 2010 it was F-ZWBR. So, I guess I was a bit premature with my previous answer... F-ZWBL is BRA001, also for Brazil. Not sure which serial is/was allocated to that. F-ZWBS is N-...

Some small corrections on Michiel's log: F-WWOG = c/c TWN001 (corr), from photo SSWA01 = BSWA01 (corr), was a misread on my part, it was in the far back of the hangar ;-) The AS350 could also be Ecuador Army as the roundels resemble each other from a distance and Ecuador is a known Ecureuil operator...

The Cobra sub variants are not very well known to most and cause lots of mistakes. I delved into the type some years ago. Mainly based on the book US Army Aircraft since 1947 (Stephen Harding, Airlife, 1990) and an old BAR-overview. There were no less than four main AH-1S variants: AH-1S(modified) 2...
