Hey Mouscaj, You are absolutely correct, but before they move us to the Vintage section (and I send a full log and some soft, out of focus, grainy shots) here´s your almost fully restored B26, complete with "Marauder worshipper", oops!) http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b616/starmanOK/FranceSept14...

Yeah Rob, putting yourself in harms way, well done, anything for the numbers :respect: Cutbacks, cutbacks, cutbacks, it's just so hard to get the gardening staff these days. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b616/starmanOK/LLEK06-14a039_zpsba689ed8.jpg Camera, check: Binos, check: Stepladder, chec...

Wow, speechless!

EOR must be suffering from the heat so without his permission I'll just edit out what I posted, but even so, go to Fencecheck.com for some fab pix!

So that was the year it didn´t rain all three days. Notice the white Discovery leaving at 4¨17 - "choppers, I don´t look at them, mate"!

According to EOR the AVs (at least) have already arrived:
80413, 80425, 80443, 80444, 80491, 80516, 80525, 80541, 92009/31FW, 92026, 92030/510FS, 92038, 92040, 92049, 92053, 92178 & 00709 (and maybe 1 more)

Before MST it was in TLV. Apparently the gear (technical term) arrived on 32 pallets on a CAL 747, if anyone's interested!

A quick look at the Nellis AFB Webpage tells me that "dates and units participating in Joint Forcible Entry Exercises are subject to change". I suppose that rather depends on the outcome of the operation Yewtree exercise :? "JAWTEX", OK, sounds kinda military, but JFEX?? And just exactly what are th...

In case you were wondering, no, Starman doesn't mean I'm a (big) David Bowie fan, but this is what I do when I'm not spotting! Noted last week around and about: http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b616/starmanOK/IMG_5434_zps8c34b3a3.jpg My first stop, the 25+02 at Laage, lovely weather for the time ...

....and not wishing to miss out on LMs sales promotion, whilst the Israeli Chief of Staff talks to the press of military cutbacks, the Defence Minister will shortly announce a further purchase of 20 F-35s to equip the second squadron.

Hi Col Don, Maybe an invite to one of President Putin´s Tiger Sqns to come along (and sell some merchandise) would do a lot better than threats and embargoes (and Nobel peace prize offers). of course, if you´re happy with wall to wall Vipers ..... NTM was a lot better with wall to wall Starfighters ...

As the bean-counters have taken over every other aspect of life, the universe and everything, it had to be a question of economics. Obviously there will be opinions for and against (but not on an Aviation Website I would hope) and I for one would rather see my A-10s in service at DM rather than in s...
