Saturday show F-35A flown by Melanie from Memphis was 5360.

With apologies for bumping this one, I’ve just finished listening to ‘Devil Dragon Pilot’ by Laurence A Colby on Audible. It’s a novel, but the author is clearly ‘authentic’. The novel mentions Special Forces borrowing a civil Gulfstream and having it modified with a rear exit for high level parachu...

Just looking through photos from a visit on 27 and 28-Apr-23. Snake01 flight included a F-16 coded 'WA' 124 which is a new one on me. Is this 89-2124 ex-'SD'? Unfortunately the photo can't read the FY. Any confirmation appreciated. 19-5947 HC-130J was present on both days and 73-1594 EC-130H arrived...

Nice photos! Looking at the various lists of residents and your photos, it appears that the Saab 105/Sk60 (on the hill behind the Mi-2) coded 37 on the nose is not recorded. Does anyone know the airframe ID of this one?

Many thanks
Ian

Thanks, but those two were at the western end under the 4/5 rows of sunshelters. The two I saw were while driving out of the show off the lakebed, not quite as far as the NASA facility but closer to the SH F-18s and C-20.

Did anyone see two F-35s in sun shelters on exiting the show? Probably near the 2x F-18 and Gulfstream. One looked like a roundel on the nose (RAF?) rather than US.

This may sound non-military, but bear with me. N800PM came on the radar as it appeared at Tonopah Test Range w/c 18-Sep-20 and is pictured there in this article [url]https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/36968/secretive-tonopah-test-range-airport-had-a-mysteriously-busy-week-in-september/[url] At th...

As it's related, I think, to the black C-32Bs....I heard RCH581 departed KNGU (Chambers Field, Norfolk NAS) two days ago 29-Oct @0920z. The only track that correlates was a Gulf 5 which seems to have been N800PM, which has been visiting the same places as the 'Eglin' C-32Bs. I'll start another topic...

Hi

A number of military aircraft seen on departure from Colombo

SMH-4421, SMH-4422 Mil-17 plus a number of others which the video from my phone can't be sure about.

If interested, here's the view out of the window during the takeoff https://youtu.be/gUhpOPHDFXQ

Hi, I visited the museum on the 9th Feb 2020, I checked out the shed by the gate on foot and the E110 without a tail is c/n 110168 which makes it '2287', the 87 is actually visible on the port side of the nose, but the C/N is definitely correct.

Hi there Along the dirt track to the north of the base, the following could be seen Active ramps 406, 407 An-26 604, 605 A319 In and around shelters 01, 07, 12, 19, 20, 22, 28 MiG-29s plus one other (any help with ID appreciated!) Google Earth appears to show the current positions of these. No extra...

Apparently it was 14-June-1994.

Thanks for the help, I hadn't thought to check the Fokker house logo.

Aha....actually, maybe it was Feb-1992....will check with my travel buddy

Thanks Luamax, I've only been to Woensdrecht once, so that makes it June-1994. The tail logos don't match anything that I can find, odd!

Hi, going through my old photos from the 1990s and I found some shots of these. I've had a google around but can't remember where I took the photo, or the operator. They look like Fokker 50s to me, but I'm happy to be corrected. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eCVr42V7074/W3AILO6CKuI/AAAAAAAAyxA/lJF9bT4s3...
