Re: REQ: Istres or Orange, what would you choose?

How hard it is to come close to an air base in France will probably also be determined bij the state of alert the country is in. In France there is a system called "vigipirate" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigipirate ) When the situation is tense I personally would choose to go to Orange. August i...

Re: Meeting de l'Air Cazaux Air Base (FR) 2014 June 21st / 2

Thanks Joris for your report. As I was very used to the Singapore A-4's on Cazaux the past many years, I noticed there is not a single one in your log. I am not all that up-to-date anymore but found out they are replaced by the M-346. Does anybody know what has happened with the A-4's on Cazaux? Hav...

Re: ETAD 16-05-2014 off topic

Hi Richard,
I hope you will reconsider. I think a lot of spotters appreciate your contributions. Even the spotters you don't even know like myself (probably)

For years I like reading your postings, and hope i can in the future,

Best regards, Mark

Met een ijzerzaagje de filterrand doorzagen.
Je filter moet je dan wel als verloren beschouwen.

Re: Gemiddelde leeftijd hier op het forum

44 jaar. Echt begonnen ben ik, dwz met de fiets van Tilburg naar Gilze-Rijen, vanaf dat de F-15's van Langley op deployment waren. Als ik terug denk aan het begin weet ik nog: Die griekse A-7 op Kleine-Brogel (1985) die ik niet durfde te fotograferen omdat de gendarmerie erbij stond (de volgende dag...

Re: Spangdahlem 11-12 may 2013

The part "Local" in the sentence " local static assets" wories me a bit..

It could mean a static with 24 F-16s from the same unit, and maybe 8 A-10's.
