Something different from jet noise and other military hardware, but still (semi) military. Earlier this year I spent a couple of days with the Belgian Air Cadets during their summer camps at Bertrix and Weelde. Here's some photo results: https://www.ridder.aero/downloads/air-cadets/bac-01.jpg https:...

I was there in February which (even in Spain) is way before the tomato season.

They are based at Konya which technically isn't Europe.

Thanks both!

Cool! Where did you fly it? I flew the Tiger II in Switzerland.

Earlier this year I had an opportunity to spend two days with the F-5 Freedom Fighters at Talavera la Real. Over 50 years after being introduced into Spanish service, they are still being used as lead-in fighter trainers. Let's get on with the photos! https://ridder.aero/downloads/ala23/talavera-01....

Thanks both!

Last month I had the opportunity (twice!) to fly a 4-ship Hawk photo sortie with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Here's my video:

I was at Cold Lake two weeks ago and this year's Maple Flag has indeed been cancelled.

Werd Frisian Flag ook niet gecanceld tijdens operation Unified Protector (Libië 2011), of had dat een andere reden?

Thanks all!!! Small request though: I'm still looking for the serial of that Growler "XE-500"?? Can anybody help?? Scramble database and airliners give different outcomes.. At ODW we have the following two results: 166855 / XE-500 seen in February 2014 and 166945 / XE-500 seen in January ...

Azerbaijan a poor country? It is one of the biggest producers of oil and gas (#21 and #33 of the world, respectively)..
