Re: EHLW 13-4-2018

Vanmiddag eerste wave omhoog tussen 13.30-14.30, tweede wave tussen 14.30-15.00. Dit vanwege slechte weersomstandigheden in het oostelijke deel van de Noordzee, de eerste groep is dan ook voor 15.00 weer thuis, de tweede club een uurtje later. Bericht van Twitter KLu Zie inderdaad: https://twitter....

Re: EHLW 11-04-2018

Deer on the runway departures had to wait :shock: A deer on an military airbase which is fenced. What is more important? The safety of the pilots or a deer? I would say catch the deer and put this animal free in a nature park were this animal belongs. When I was stationed at Leeuwarden I noticed se...

Re: Frisian Flag 2018

There's a small space in the field on the eastern end where you can catch them landing. See map @ https://agl-fullstop.nl/images/VERKEERS_KAART_FF2018(klein).jpeg This space is marked as a blue square. The rest is indeed off-limits. Many thanks for the useful info, nilsko :-) I read about the spott...

Re: Defensienota 2018

Hou er sowieso rekening mee dat de Defensienota er vooral voor zorgt dat achterstalling onderhoud wordt ingelopen zodat wat er nu aan missies "gedaan" kan worden, volgehouden kan worden. Het is nog steeds ver onder de 2% commitment die Defensie voor NAVO moet leveren. Dat kost nog wel een jaar of ti...

Re: EHAM 21-03-2018 MIL

Nilsko, Met het medium internet en google maps kom je al heel ver tegenwoordig. Waarom maak jij jezelf daar niet eens aan avondje kwaad om ? Dit is wel heel makkelijk, toch ? Greets Internet? Wasda? Is dat iets? ;-) Natuurlijk heb je gelijk, ik maakte de opmerking ook niet voor mezelf, ik vind mijn...

Re: EHAM 21-03-2018 MIL

Scramble airfield guides heeft uiteraard een overzichtskaart. http://www.scramble.nl/scramble/uncategorised/schiphol-aircraft-parking-spots Het probleem met dat kaartje is dat het niet aangeeft op welke plekken van de luchthaven de specifieke spots zijn. Wat zou helpen is 1 overzichtskaart van het ...

Re: Frisian Flag 2018

The question will be for most air forces: Which ones are serviceable? And not: Which one in a special livery can we sent to Leeuwarden..

Re: Jordanian Falcons leaving Volkel (29-11)

Nice report and very atmosperic pic @ Aviano. I can't help but observe that calling the departure of 6 Falcons a "mass-launch" says a lot about local movements at fighter bases nowadays. ;-)
