Scramble Messageboard

In Pierre, the capital of SD is a museum with an A-7 along a back road. The Ellsworth Museum is close to the base gate, and close to one of the approach ends. It contains interesting specimens. A base tour starts frorm there. Very interesting because you get to visit a missile silo. You won't get to...

My slides are back from Fuji.
The early morning Alpha-jet that departed Evreux at 8AM (and probably the one doing a high run over Paris) was 705-MH/E48

Er staat wel een histogram, maar geen gemiddelde leeftijd bij deze draad, kan dat misschien aangevuld worden? Ik schat 42. Voordat die teveel omlaag gaat: ik ben 57. Begonnen op Soesterberg op 1 augustus 1967 en begrijpelijkerwijs gedurende enige jaren als 'Huppel' aangesproken. Zie ook bij Eggroll....

Just a few additions Mirage F1B 510 was inside one of the small hangars. Under one the sheds was Mirage 2000D 640 118-IN TBM-700 78 XE (unit badge CEAM) stood on the ramp in the morning. Two French Alpha Jets made several passes but remain unidentified. All in all a very pleasant Spotter Day for the...

Off course we have also seen the recently installed robot eagle eyes on both runways ends. It may be paranoid, but how do we recognize actual officials of this program from imposters? On the other hand if any photo, even with infra, is allowed by USAFE officials, and any photo will be erased by Poli...

Yes, shrubbery and trees have been cut.
To have a good view on what's happenig at the fence (for the authorities).
For spotters, to not have trees or branches on photos, and to have a clear view of the approach.
So we're working hand in hand.

It wasn't so bad as in US Northeast, but we needed some courage. Flying was not bad with busy local traffic, two KC-10s and arrivals of all three Galaxy versions. Landstuhl helos did approaches: 075 during a snow shower 3mar1.jpg Local Gulf during of the short spells of sunshine. 3mar2.jpg McGuire C...

Both were seen landing at rwy 26 through my viewfinder.

So no pictures even not of aircaft in the air!!?? That's somewhat fundamentalistic. For prospective visitors don't let yourself be scared! A day at the fence is already exciting enough : you never know what will come, if and when they are going to change runway direction, whether the location where ...

In 2011 I was one of the unlucky being refused entrance at Osan. We went to the approach where we had lunch with local policemen. It was two times unlucky when it became clear that all Korean participants landed from our side and all USAF (4 F16, 4 A10, U2) from the other. It's best to get inside (r...

Now that there is a camera placed on the other side of the fence we sould not worry. Security is monitoring us.
The only thing is that we don't look too fancy in winter gear (and in summer gear neither maybe).

For those uninterested in low quality unsunny and/or infra pictures, please refrain from looking. At Ramstein there is always things to see, even when the weather is bad. 1. Just after parking the car at 0815 a C-5M came in. 2. We had to hurry to see this interesting C-130H. Too cold to hold the cam...
