Re: Spottersday 20 May 2015 exercise THPU - Beauvechain

FA08 was also the aircraft that did spend some time at Helchteren range by the way. Does somebody know the units of the French choppers? I know at least some of them came from Pau, but never got to asking the crews unfortunately.... And same question for Huey 73+60. The other one, 73+43 had THR 30 m...

Re: Gripen accident at Caslav during Lion Effort

For a jet that "slid of the runway", the damage is enormous! The complete cockpit is simply gone....

Re: RAF TriStars to fly again!

Interesting news! All six are currently at Bruntingthorpe in the UK, and were expected to be taken apart for spares and scrap. Luckily they will have a second (third) life! For the record, the RAF identities were: N304CS c/n 1157 => ZD948 N309CS c/n 1165 => ZD951 N405CS c/n 1164 => ZD950 N507CS c/n ...

Re: Spottersday 20 May 2015 exercise THPU - Beauvechain

Indeed the A.109 on the fire dump is H03. Inside the hangar next to the Sea King were indeed H26 and H41 in the left part, and H30, H25, h46 and H31 in the right one. All in all not a bad day, but although I really do appreciate all the efforts by the Belgian AF it definately could have been better....

Just keep the Chaussée de Wavre road as a destination, I'm sure someone there will help you, or that you meet other people going in the same direction
Or use my coordinates, as they get you exactly at the gate.... :wink:

Re: Bitburg Mirage,s

Hmmm, this is supposed to be a museum. But given this guys attitude, the real purpose will be different I guess....
