Why the arabic text on the Mangusta engine?
I forgot what it literally means, but it's something that all Italian choppers carry that have been in Afghanistan (or was it Iraq?).Bas
The titles is nothing less then the Arabic translation for Italy.

Correct me if I am wrong but the terminal pictures in this topic are the Gulf Air Airbusses. The others are from the cargo ramps which are at the military site of the airfield. From the terminal it is not easy to have a view on this, because hangars are a little bit in front of it.

De laatste Starfighter is niet een gatekeeper zoals je het zelf noemt. Uiteraard een leuke W&R maar staat niet echt aan de poort op Brogel.

Nice bit of info: I believe Cessna Caravans can reverse their propellor thrust while making a dive to keep it below overspeed limits, this is why they can dive (almost) vertically. If that is true, nice feature, but i think also a bit dangerous; what if the prop thrust stays in reverse and won't go...

Vraag me af welk diafragma je lens heeft. Is deze bijvoorbeeld f5.6 op 300mm dan betekent het wanneer je een 1.4 converter koopt dat je lichtkwaliteit verandered van f5.6 naar f7.8 wanneer je zelfs een 2x converter overweegt wordt het f11.2. De lichtkwaliteit gaat dan dus erg hard achteruit. Heb je ...
