Tony,
SP-FMP was stored dismantled in a hangar at Poznan/Kobylnica from Jun02-May10 at least.

Gents, These aircraft have been discussed at length on various forums. Firstly, it is important to note that there are two different operators. The 227th SOF at McGuire is one. Whether they are a "black" unit is perhaps off topic, but they are listed in the McGuire phone-book, so they are ...

Cheers,

The Police hangar contained:
9A-HAG R22
9A-HBM B212
9A-HBZ B206
9A-HDB B206

9A-HBC was not present, it was detached to Zadar for the summer season.

The Fairford F-22s were not flying at that time, so they must have been the two from Lakenheath.

Some extra bits from me, all personally read: 624/F-ZWTW Omani NH90 flew on Friday 11th (623 also flew at around the same time) AS.350B3 PN-120 was c/n 7025 Maroc Gendarmerie EC.225 was CN-BZG. French Navy AS.565SA 505 test flew as F-ZKCK on Friday 11th An unidentified Tiger F-ZKBL was towed on Frid...

Erik,
The Frelons are the embargoed Iraqi machines that used to be stored in the Eurocopter facility at Marseille.
They are c/ns 186 and 188.

It would of course be useful if someone could check the c/ns of these three. AFAIK P-554 has never been identified, and it would also be useful to confirm the other two.

Thanks for the routing info. Does anyone know how long it takes to make the journey from Antwerp to Coleman, so that I can get an idea of how long I have to intercept them!
Thanks,
Andy

Can someone please give a rough idea of the routing the ship takes, and also the approximate timescales.
Many thanks,
Andy

There will be no operational flying at Coningsby on Monday 3rd, as it is indeed a Public Holiday in England and Wales. There is a small event just along the road at East Kirkby: http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/events/open-days/american-air-day.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...

Hi Otger/Andy, What Arjan probably means is the USAMOOS. The latest one was from 2007. Unfortunately the book can’t be order any more. Perhaps, Andy, can tell us if that one is coming out this year? (This book is from Mach III) Regards Steve Steve, I am just finishing USAMOOS 2010, which will go to...
