Scramble Messageboard

With a few days to spare recently, I decided to spend some time out on the SPTA and earlier in the year on a very nice day I sat at Boscombe, patience and a good book seems to work? 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48608727167_dba23fbc19_b.jpg Salisbury plain and Boscombe Down-9 by Michael Fis...

Whilst sorting through the Italian Tornados in my previous post I found these RAF Tornados, predominantly GR.1s from 15 Res Sqn, 27 Sqn, 617 Sqn, and a GR.1A from 13 Sqn all very busy, flying! 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48531305896_aa9e510f73_b.jpg ZA563:TC and ZA608:TK Tornado GR.1s 15 ...

Great set, looks like you had a brilliant time?

Hi all,

Just wondered if anybody has any info regarding dates or times, for exercise Garuda 2019 at Mont de Marsan that they would not mind sharing?

I found the most significant problem to be the armed soldiers in the jeep that drives around the perimeter track? Certainly not to be messed with.

It appears that the US DOD draft budget has a purchase for 22 F5E/F Ex Swiss AF for the sum of €39,676,00 quite a bargain, they appear destined for the USMC.

Lovely set, I just love all that heat!

Lovely set of pics and a proper flypast! love the choppers at Issy-les-Moulineaux and the Esplanade des Invalides.

A lovely set and that light, just magic!

Just found this, Saudi F15S downed. https://youtu.be/kYtuf7J_5vM The Houthis say the downing of the F-15S is separate from the Jan. 7, 2018 incident, where rebel forces ‘supposedly’ downed a Saudi Tornado IDS/ECR attack aircraft. The Saudi-led coalition claims the Tornado experienced “a technical fa...

I agree with the Isreali colonel Nri Irkoni, who's opinion is that we know bird migration routes, they have happened for millennia, training on a $110 million aircraft, really in that area!

Isreal confirms one of its F-35 super jets grounded due to a collision with two Storks, strange as it has passed its bird strike certification! they say it will be back flying within days! Meanwhile, the Syrian Defence Force are saying they have launched a S-200 Russian built missiles to defend a an...

Spent a few hours at RAF Coningsby for exercise Cobra Warrior, had the idea, to try and get a few atmospheric shots through the fence, at night! Not as easy as one might think! I hope you may enjoy them. 1. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4457/37480770401_9f4fe7cc3f_b.jpg Exercise Cobra, Coningsby 20...
