Thanks Ronald for the info & pics. Looking forward to the rest. But what changed now?, where were you standing?? and what runway was in use?? Please clarify ... I believed only in the afternoon the sun was right ... :? Please check Google maps (via Scramble or something), there you see the new runw...
Hey, Just back from a wonderful Japan trip. In 10 days almost 4000 km. One of the bases we visited was MCAS Iwakuni. Since the new runway is in use the photo opportunities dramatically improved. Wow what a base. Only sad that the sun started shining after 1 o'clock and by that time the sun is not in...
Hi Paul, Great set of pictures ! The first time I see pictures from Iwakuni with the new runway being used. It looks like the photo opportunities significantly improved with possibilities to make also runwayshots. Do they use both runways now and with how many mm did you make the runwayshots ? What ...
Does anyone has an idea where the a/c for the mass formation are flying from ? Also from Gigli or from Bandirma or something (3 hrs drive from Izmir) ?
Just back from two days work after an enjoyable spotterday on monday. No time for some serious photoshop On sunday we went to Cambrai Niergnes for the airshow, at least we had better light conditions than monday and they did cut the grass before the runway !! http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i426...
Here a few pics from Ramstein in nice sunny weather and nice aircraft. On March 2 2 Wisconsin ANG KC135 and a KC10 arrived, they departed in the morning. This all in around 2 hours time..... http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i426/ronald888/scramble-rs2.jpg http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i426/...
I think we have to be careful to use scanner reports or Mode S reports for movements. Luckily I was at Ramstein, 2 WI ANG KC 135's were expected and 2 WI ANG KC135's arrived already at March 2 and were expected for take-off. We got a phonecall that the 00348 was heading towards Ramstein but for unkn...
[quote]I confirm you that most of Adla fighters and some helicopters were deployed to Creil AB last year. [quote="Ronaldsnl"] Thanks Tintin, Do you (or someone else on this forum) know something about the photopossibilities at Creil ? The Scramble airfield guide is not so clear about this. If I look...
The Beauvechain spottersday was a complete ripoff. Fully agree, this year the airshow was in hands of a civil organisation who just wants to earn money. We had to pay 30 euro's for nothing. We all had to make pictures on a very small strip too far from the runway. The airshow tomorrow and sunday wi...
