Scramble Messageboard

Make it a disasteress week.... Also a Bleu Angel and Thunderbird went down...

And a Russian Su-27 yesterday. Pilot killed.

F-5E from Patrouille de Suisse crashed near Bitgum (Leeuwarden Air Base) after mid air with other A/C while practicing for tomorrows air show. Pilot luckily ejected, other A/C landed safely. http://www.lc.nl/images/xjhhlk-straaljager2.jpg/ALTERNATES/WIDE_768/straaljager2.jpg Photo:LC/ARODI BUITENWER...

I guess between all of us here there are enough of us (with personal contacts within the KLu) to know that the F-35 will be flying for 99% sure.
They just want to keep it a surprise. Which makes sense. So ofcourse they're not going to list it on the Flying display.

Whahaha... high tech troep. Beetje laag wolkendek en no flying.

A 30.000 euro per uur (excl uurtariefje van de twee begeleidende F-16's) is het een beetje zonde om de mensen het vliegtuig alleen maar te laten horen.

Great shots. Well done!

Some very nice liveries. Which nationality is the middle F-16?

And yes, they like surprises....

But the Americans don't. If you want to see Ospreys I would put my money on RIAT and not Leeuwarden

Every Thursday there's update on participants

Thanks, did not know this.

Was wondering if there are still more appearances in the pipeline to be confirmed? Because at this moment I personally find the line up (apart from the F-22 and F-35) not that impressive (for a show with that ticket price). I can see similar displays appearances in Leeuwarden for free.

We still might be in for a surprise. And lets'not forget folks, its a free show.

Very nice captures!

Nice pictures and interesting info. Especially about the downgraded weaponry.

Exactly the reason why I stopped posting photo's on Scramble. This guy has amazing pictures from angles and locations most of us would only dream of but still there is a need to complain about how much the photos have been edited.

Great pictures man! Hope you have more to share.

Very crisp pictures. Bravo. Interesting to see the different types of Sidewinders (AIM-9M and AIM-9X) on wingtips the Finnish Hornet.

Hoping for good weather tomorrow as I'm planning to drive of to Friesland myself.

Stunning, just incredible pictures. 2 icons like this in formation with that backdrop. Simply awesome.
