The "crash" picture. Was it during landing or after a manouvre in the sky? It crashed after an aborted landing manoeuvre. The plane was badly lined up, so it aborted landing and tried to do a go around. However airspeed was too low so it stalled and fell from relatively low. There are more spectacu...

7 days were spent at this year's EAA convention at Oshkosh. It is not really an airshow as we know it, but every day a few interesting items will fly, next to many sports aerobatics acts which are repeated day after day. So you really need a week to get the headliners. Even then, and despite twitter...

The weekend before Oshkosh a mass gathering of DC-3s was planned at Rock Falls, Il to celebrate 75 years of the type. Some 27 DC-3s and 1 DC-2 made it to enjoy the atmosphere at this one off event.

Great shots EC!

Hi Maarten, I don't recognise the spot where the Fk27 is standing. Can you tell me at what time of the day the picture was made please?

Thanks, it is parked at the GAT, "big planes" position.

I went to exercise Tiger Gust at Dijon yesterday, we saw 6 Saudi F-15s during the day. Wind was from the South.

Well done xm717 :respect: Thanks for clearing this up. I am just curious about two things... 1. Where was the c/n positioned? Thank you, but I'm not trying to get applause for something where I am only involved a bit. "I had it read off" = I made someone else read it off. I asked to look at the lef...

Just to confirm 01 black is 1307, not because some database says so, no, I had it read off yesterday on the base.
