Re: EHLW 12-04-2022 MIL

Was this the only time the Canadians showed their HEX codes during the deployment?

Just wondering if the codes for 188756 and 188742 are known.

Re: Wittmund (ETNT) - The situation in 2009

Further to Iwan`s great update, Can anyone advise what sort of lens is adequate from the mound (Spots 3 / 4), for aircraft on the runway? I`m guessing 70-210mm maybe a bit short, even with a crop factor of about 1.5x. I`m visiting here in early August and need to minimise my lens kit due to flight r...

Re: Meiringen (LSMM) - 2009

Swiss Airfield closure periods for 2009 should be as follows:

Emmen 29.06 - 24.07
Meiringen 29.06 - 03.07

Alpnach 03.08 - 14.08
Meiringen 03.08 - 28.08
Payerne 03.08 - 28.08

Some airfields do have limited operations for helo`s etc, but basically the runways are usually closed.
