Scramble Messageboard

Spent two hours (5-7 PM) at Coronado Beach on May 14, 2014. Almost had no time to swim in the ocean. What I could decipher form the slides so far: H60 variants: 166535/TS-415, -110 of HSC-49, TS-415, '30', -617 of HSC-3. EF-18: NJ-514 (full color mks) and another. C20: 152 MC130: FT 717 still to com...

The policy re spotting/photographing in the Ochey approach is understandable with the traffic situation, and much different form Saint Dizier. On both sides dangerous situations will arise with parked cars, distraction of drivers. I've seen a deadly accident happen caused by this, this we wouldn't w...

Hawgsmoke was plannend for Ascension day, but dates have been set back to July.
See: http://www.hawgsmoke.com/#, 'Schedule'

Date was set for Ascension day late May.
Meanwhile a new (tentative) date is set for beginning of July: see http://hawgsmoke.com/#
This will probably be the last one ever.

Had to wait for my slides to be developed. A selection what we saw on February 12: active A10s: DM ..-173, BD 78-582, BD 79-094, -- 79-154, BD 79-151, BD 79-180, DM 80-278 ‘355FW’, BD 79-148, DM 82-663,BD 79-105, DM 79-210, BD 79-145, DM ..-275 So 355 absorbed many ex-BD that had not been repainted....

Gossie, je maakt het erg spannend, Rob.
We zijn razend benieuwd waarmee we geholpen kunnen worden.

Rob,
Waar kan ik, of Eric, je mee helpen?
Groetjes, Hans de Ree

A wet sunday started off okay with C-17, KC-10 and a KC-135.
Thereafter the wind picked up.
This C-17 had to go around, probably due to windshear/ heavy crosswind.
It was the only a/c to get a decent picture of.

Next Sunday the runways at Soesterberg will be open again, for running (see http://www.run4water.nl/).

The Avanti was slightly early. it was 62204. Thanks for the tip.
It made my day together with another small one (U28 70779).
Getting Dyess Hercs on photo proves difficult as todays load landed before sunrise.
And the place can be utterly boring so we were soon off to beautiful Nancy.

The second one was 91511, from McConnell.
Seen with my own eyes.
