Scramble Messageboard

Replacing King Airs with T-6! Very interesting, a twin replaced by a single seat trainer. Hardly a similar aircraft or role, so a strange choice. I can understand the order for the T-6 as the RNZAF have nothing like it, but to replace King Airs, is this really the case or are they going to supplemen...

I am planning to visit Australia in Feb/March 2015 and require some info regarding spotting/photography around Sydney and Melbourne. I know that Avalon airshow will be on but want to know if anyone can help with info on military bases in the areas mentioned and any contact info for PAO etc at milita...

Guess I missed the report from your September outing there

Ah ok. Didn't post a log from my trip, but just wondered why you had written that. No problems!

Noted on static display were: mm81493/2-14 EH101 mm81719/2-22 EH101 mm81581/3-05 NH90-NFH mm81376/7-66 AB212ASW (appeared fully operational) mm81378/7-68 AB212ASW mm81473/9-05 AB412HP parked in main hangars were mm81481 /2-02 EH101 mm81487 [/2-08 EH101 mm80942 /7-10 AB212ASW (appeared operational) ...

Love the special schemes, especially the yellow one, awesome!

I'm British and even I knew this. It's a piece of ==censored== and spends most of its time unserviceable, hence the reason for disposal!

Now that scheme is really nice, and F-16s in a display team!

These things crash at about the same rate as Luftwaffe F-104's many years ago!

The A-7's! Quite incredible that those still fly operationally, it will probably be the last time, at least for me. Do not worry, they will soldier on for another couple of years ... :bday: Are you sure ?! I heard they will be put out of service next November.... Would be nice if I were wrong, but ...

Thanks Everyone exciting times to be living in Mildenhall. I am sure some locals won't be saying that after the TDY of the CV-22's in 2011 the base was inundated with noise complaints :evil: Hopefully the first CV-22's will arrive this week. Dave First two CV-22's due in by Wednesday at latest. Mike

love 'em all mate. awesome!

re the Jupiter team KT-1's, I can confirm from photo's that -101 is coded 5, -110 is coded 2, -109 is coded 3, -112 is coded 4, 108 is coded 8. Although I do not have photo's I also have 111 as coded 1 and from another photo it looks like code 6 is -103. I still need to confirm an AS.61 that flew in...

M52-05, -09, -10, 13 & -15 were your Sukhoi's including the photoship

CN235 M44-07 visited on 28th as well. I am also looking for confirmation on a couple of other visitors if anyone can help. Another AS.61 Sea King that visited around mid morning on the 31st and then left soon after, 2 x -130's (one a KC-130 I think) of RMAF that were present late 1st April. One took...

The C-27 has it's national markings painted out. Maybe withdrawn and on its way back to the US??
