I caught 86-231 on Wednesday. Looks pretty cool compared to the other jets but could have been way cool if they had looked at any of the BAF Special c/s Vipers for once. No such luck but who knows when 457 FS has their anniversary. So with the 88-548 and 89-517 LF's in town you can bet your money th...

Today saw the second of the RAF F-35B's take to the skies over North Texas. Was there too late so can not confirm but this should be ZM136. Over the next week or two 4 to 6 are on the schedule to be delivered either to Eglin (more B's) or Edwards (perhaps the OT coded A's). When more news becomes av...

Cool stuff indeed. The BD A-10's are most likely on their way to Hickam, HI for the upcoming Rimpac exercise.

She was still there. Great you got her.

While on Business travel managed to squeeze in a few hours at Hickam.

LOG 8 May 2012 83-1137 F-16C LMTAS did some local work and PAR approaches as VIPER21 Nice log Piet. Too bad the weather was not great. But heck, we need the rain over here. The next four months is nothing more then blue skys with 40 C weather. In regards to your 83-1137 sighting that is the LMTAS c...

Well. Missed that one.

Today two first flights for F-35A's AF-17 and AF-18. These were resp 09-5004/OT "31 TES" and 09-5005/OT. Both flew as Lightning 11.

Perhaps some delays can be expected. However typically LMTAS resolves the issue by using direct labor. Not possitive if that could be the resolution here as well. Will do some questioning to find out. It is funny to see workers along the picket line though. However currently aircraft on the flightli...

Tx mate. We will see. Apparantly yanks do not like clouds and rain. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] There are no yanks in the south!!! Only :gun: and :2gunfire: happy southerners. LOL. Jep, especially with new hardware. Do not expect them to fly. Perhaps some Spads but they just had their drill wee...

Hi Piet, Glad you made it. Crappy weather however. For tomorrow even worse. The RAF B should be ZM135. I saw it last Wednesday being tucked into the same hangar. And in case you wonder the other B models have not left the final assembly line as far as I know so ZM135 is the only option. If the weath...
