Raising a HE-115 from fjord

It's a Heinkel!: Salvage volunteers hoisted an ultra-rare German World War II-era aircraft from the bottom of a fjord in southern Norway, reports Britain's Daily Mail. The Heinkel He-115, a twin-engine floatplane torpedo-bomber, is the only example of its type recovered so far, according to press re...

Re: F-104 in N-register

Who knows what the plans with the Zippers are? Will they bring them back to flying conditions or are they just for parts?
Who bought them, Transworld Starfighters?

Re: Sigma 150 - 500 APO HSM Lens

@ Wild weasel.
Did send scans to Scramble (Marco). He didn't do an article because he serial missed numbers. I am not a number writer guy.
Had full color shot of an F-5N at the back cover of the July Scramble issue though ;-)

Cheers,

Re: Sigma 150 - 500 APO HSM Lens

Hi Ramon, Thanks! Daar kan ik wat mee. Ik heb ook jouw foto's op Flickr bekeken. Zijn fraai! Ik denk dat het een mooie lens is voor wat ik ermee wil en wat hij cost. Een prime is voor mij te duur. Heb op Koksijde een Canon D7 met een 'prime" Canon 100-400 geleend. Mooie set maar qua budget voor mij ...

Sigma 150 - 500 APO HSM Lens

Wie heeft er ervaring met de Sigma 150 - 500 APO HSM Lens? Ik heb interesse om deze lens te kopen. Ik lees her en der bevindingen maar ben benieuwd hoe de lens het doet met snelle objecten/vliegtuigen. Met name het snel focussen en de scherpte richting maximale milimeters. Ben benieuwd naar jullie b...

Re: Three very rare "birds"

Indeed very rare birds, most of them were shot down during the turkey shoot in 1982! Score 82-1 or something ;-)
Real gutsy to show the remains of an A-4 ;-)
