Scramble Messageboard

Waiting for departure from Moldova yesterday, I had the opportunity to catch a few interesting old style, soviet era transports. Currently, there is a temporary free cars parking very well located to make pictures of the here-under AN-24's, an AN-12 (wrecked) and the IL-18d (this ones looks pretty n...

and a few more

While on a transfer at Warsaw, I had the opportunity to catch somme interesting planes. Also very nice there is the fact that the military part is located next to the civilian site, with direct vieuw from the passengers terminal. So I noticed : - One Polish gov Emraer (170 ?) (which sadly replaced t...

Returning from a short trip and going through Balti (second biggest city in the Republic of Moldova), I found this airfield, just on the north east of the city, along the main road (there is also there a small airport with concrete runway and a few buildings, but no planes around. Following local pe...

Royal Australian AF F-35 actually.
NZ didn't buy any F-35 (and has no more fighter jets since the loss of the A-4s fleet).

Thank you very much Coert ! It looks very precise to me now. I'll go for sure one of these days. I even plan to stay overnight and spend two days at SP testing my new camera once weather forecast and my free time will both allow. A-10 + CF-188 + the usual transports and F-16 altogether is an opportu...

Hard to say Fred, as they change a lot. Last Monday the plan was to fly 3 missions (morning, afternoon, evening), but cancelled morning. Keep in mind that the A-10 missions are very long most of the times (around 2 hours!). F-16s go quite a lot to the tankers these days. CAF hornets if they fly, on...

Hi gyus ! I plan to go to Spangdahlem one of these days to try to see the A-10. I have the feeling, by reading your reports that they fly mostly during the afternoon and even on the evening. As I live quite far from "SP" and want to have as much chances as possible on my side, can you conf...

Super !
Thanks for this !
It feels like being 25 years younger at Alconbury and Woodbridge, even though the colour on those birds changed.

Fantastic pictures.
Award for the best ones for 2015 is almost already gone.

Thank you for those informations.
I'll make a try on monday

Does anybody know if the A-10s will still be there on monday 10th ?
I have time to go to Spangdhalem, in case they are not gone.

A few pictures from a short stop at Chisinau (Kishinev) Int. airport, in Republic of Moldova.
Many nice (derelict for the majority) soviet era airliners. But not well positionned for pictures while security guys were a bit too close to allow pictures...

Egyptian air force K-8 !!!
Great.
Never thought one of them could be seen in Europe.

Great !
Regarding this rehearsal flight that I saw today, you may expect the best place to go tomorrow to watch them will be in Cinqantenaire square or in the first leg of avenue de Tervueren.

Too bad : I won't be in Brussels tomorrow as I plan to go to Kleine Brogel.
