no matter what the weather is or will be like - this is the most dissappointing edition of RIAT in my eyes ever regarding number and quality of participants - Zeltweg, Koksijde and Yeovilton provided more interesting aircraft in my eyes and that for less or no money! RIAT should loose its "Royal" st...

Hi, thanks for the question; I had intended to correct this log on Monday, but I forgot. Yes, the FT A-10 returned back to base just after I had compiled this report and logged of my notebook in my car ... So it probably performed a test flight ... But according to its configuration with external fu...

as I was already pleased with the successful arrival day for the St. Dizier airshow and due to the bad weather forecast, I cancelled another planned tour to France for the departures and "diverted" into Spang (I like the A-10 and hoped just for a few of them) ... Although I had virtually no informat...

having enjoyed the Fly-In for the St. Dizier Airshow on the Friday, I nightstopped at Ramstein and stayed until mid-afternoon.

4 x Polish AF MiG-29s at Neuburg now, reported to be still present now and probably staying overnight.

Polish MiG-29s are schduled for local missions in Poland tomorrow. So reason enough to stay alerted in Neuburg? Or maybe the ill-fated "TLP MiG-29s" are already in Poland without being noted by any spotters?
