Yesterday I got a message that Spaghetti Tonka's will arrive at Norvenich. After posting on FB with a question who would pass den Bosch on his way to Norvenich friend Leonard reacted. He picked me up at 7.30 AM. After a quick visit to Geilenkirchen we drove to a Sunny Norvenich. The first Tonka's ar...

Hello, I digitalised my slides and I am trying to put them in the right order (dates). In 1985 and 1987 I spent teusday through Friday taking pictures of all the aircraft landing. I know this is a long shot but does anyone have a copy of his (or her) logbook of all the arrivals??? Thanks in advance!

The alarm clock woke us up at an airport hotel in Narita at 3.30 AM..... At 6 o clock we took off for Chitose, still not knowing if the grounding of the Eagles ended. While landing we saw the hangar doors opened, there was hope. After we picked up the rental car we were in business; 98 http://i.imgu...

somehow I managed to paste the Chitose over the Atsugi day.... :-(. Here is Atsugi again, without the comments).... 72 http://i.imgur.com/FUkCUVp.jpg 73 http://i.imgur.com/tRkoU8O.jpg 74 http://i.imgur.com/VuZbdxD.jpg 75 http://i.imgur.com/yzU5GFo.jpg 76 http://i.imgur.com/6ecsqIa.jpg 77 http://i.im...

Great pictures !! :-) Thanks for the comments! Normally I try to post pics every day but it is a bit busy at work.... sorry. Anyway, on the way to Hamamatsu a new theory was born.... If the X-2 did not fly today because of the wind it will fly tomorrow if the weather forecast is ok.... The next mor...

Wow, that UH-60 on ski's! A few days later we needed ski's myself but more about that later.... ;-). After our visit to Utsonomiya we directly drove westwards to follow the sun (instead of north to Misawa where there would be no sun the next day). It was a long and sleepy drive because of the jet i...

In the afternoon we took the one hour drive north to Kita Utsonomya. It was worth the drive (and leaving behind the Phantoms :-(, choices, choices ). After photographing the preserved a/c we drove up and down the road along the runway for some good shots. The first 3 a/c where under maintenance with...

This afternoon we got back from 6 nice days in Japan. After x-mas Arno K. and I were in contact to see if we could fly somewhere to enjoy some good aviation photography. After a few minutes we decided that Japan is the place to be. We wanted to try to get to Misawa and Chitose for Snow & Sun pics. B...

Nice pics. Do you have a KMZ file? Hello, thanks for the nice comments! I do not have a KMZ for Rainbow Canyon but the only thing you need is the parking spot coordinates that I mention in this forum. What might come in handy is a scanner, I will try to get and post the 3 frequenties that are used ...

The last operational hours of my holiday I spent in the Rainbow Canyon again.... I am a numbers cruncher (on pics) but I like te place so much that this spot won from Point Mugu on this Friday. From what I heard firday would not be a good day. For sunshine it definately was not but to give you an id...

:respect: :shock: Great series. Thanks, almost finished :-(. After my first day in Rainbow Canyon I drove back to Nevada again, I like Beatty. Hamburgers and beers were on the menu again and the spot in front of the Casino felt familiair. The next morning the sunrise drive was even better then the ...

Great, great report Mr van Stiphout. Do you also have some civil stuff or is that a no go for you? Thanks! But no civil stuff for me :-(. Unless it is ex mil :-), I do Photograph civil stuff when I am at an airport but never publish because I do not know what is special. In 1999 I spent 3 days next...
