hi there,

I will be visiting AMARG next month.
Any suggestions on what lens to use during the bustour to make some decent pictures of the parked a/c ?
lenses available: 17-85, 24-105, 70-200 and 100-400mm on Canon D20 and D5Mk2

thanks
Coert

United, it goes without saying that obviously the Luxair a/c made a stop at Saarbrucken (which is usual on this flight to Munchen) to pick up some passengers over there.

Luxair flight Luxembourg-Munchen was hit by a luggage-truck early Thursday morning.
Wingsection just slightly damaged, but good enough to prevent further flying.
Flight will only be continued this afternoon, after repairs have been finished.

planning to visit the States later this year.
Looking for e-mail addresses of some airbases.
Can anybody please help me.

MCAS Miramar
MCAS Yuma
Holloman AFB
Luke AFB
Phoenix AFB
Davis Monthan AFB
Tucson AFB

Thanks for the help !!!

thx Piet, found this info as well. but when trying to verify, I found - beside a confirmation of this F-4E deployement (3rd TFS) -also info from the 90th TFS (at that time flying the F-4G): << While these changes occurred with the 3rd Wing, the 90th Fighter Squadron deployed six F-4Gs to join coalit...

I'm looking for information on the 3rd TFW / Clark AFB participation to Desert Storm 1991. I found some info on the www that is confusing: Some info shows the 3rd left the Philippines in February 1991, and 4 F-4 E s deployed to Incirlik, Turkey as part of the 7440th Composite Wing. In March 1991 the...
