De 5D mk4 klinkt inderdaad als een geweldig werkpaard voor ons. Hadden ze de 5D Mk2 niet bewust kreupel gemaakt, dan was ik waarschijnlijk al lang op full frame overgestapt. Maar goed, ik doe nog met een stok oude 1D Mk3 (niet lachen) waar ik nogaltijd tevreden mee ben (nee, echt niet lachen :P ), m...

Wat er in mijn tas zit hangt erg af waar ik heen ga en hoe ik daar kom. Als ik ga vliegen (lijnvlucht), dan zit gaat er in mijn tas alles wat ik nodig heb om rond te komen, in geval dat mijn in-check bagage kwijt raakt (been there, done that.) Dus denk aan dingen als oplader voor mijn 10" netbook (2...

Awesome shots! You wouldn't think that these beauties are 50+ years old!

I love KC-135s, it will be a sad day when they are all replaced with lumpy 767s.

All religions predict peace, but cause war.......... Not too many Bhuddist suicide bombers in Berlin, or car bombs planted by Christian or Jewish extremists to worry about?. No, not really. Not unless you were growing up in Northern Ireland.... Quick summary from: http://www.news.com.au/world/the-m...

Ah and then you went to work as Big Bird (Pino) instead?

Few goodies from few recent days at Dulles. Commutair DHC-8 which had emergency landing not to long ago at IAD. Nose gear did not retract during the landing. I believe that is the expected behaviour during that particular phase of the flight :lol: :wink: Love the photos, especially those 727s!! Wel...

Yesterday I saw an interesting topic on CNN about the U2. The USAF is flying this old lady over Syria to monitor IS. Remarkable that they are still using these old aircraft operationally. The airframes must be 50-60 years old. I still get more and more respect for what the engineers developped in t...

Thanks, very happy to hear that WAM is still having fun flying Rhino's!!



Here's WAM leading Boomer on the way back to Holloman AFB.

Wow, great pics. Are these Rhino's still operational flying? I thought that QF16's replaced all QF-4's Yes, there are still 13 at Holloman. 4 are used for spare parts, 2 dont have any hours left and are ready for the nullo mission, so that leaves 7 flyable. The first F-16 is due to arrive in Decemb...

The unmarked CV580s, ZK-CIE and ZK-CIF, both belong to Air Chathams.
(Along with ZK-CIB, which is the only one sporting the full markings).

Seen at Wellington International Airport, New Zealand, on Monday 14th March: 1x Islamic Republic of Iran Airbus A340-313 EP-AJA 1x C-17A 437th AW 09-9212 The C-17A was there to bring James Clapper, US Director of National Intelligence, for a visit with New Zealand PM John Key: http://www.stuff.co.nz...

Funny that, also the Australian Seasprite program was a complete disaster. Maybe NZ can pick up some cheap Tigre's from their neighbor?

Very nice Hermen, I should definitely do Japan soon myself!

They are still flying at Holloman AFB (Det 1.)

The unit which is now deployed at LWD participated in Sentry Aloha together with.....159th FW FL ANG Eagles! There's no such thing as coincidence... No, this is the *other* OR ANG F-15 Squadron. Nahh, they're the same ones: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/sentry-aloha-has-fighter-jets-from-around-...
