Re: Madrid Colmenar Viejo (LECV) 2024

Hi Paco, Good questions. w.r.t. the Bolkows, several of us read the serials as Colin noted and were, perhaps, as surprised as you are. I didn't take photos, but the aircraft looked to be in the same positions as the 3 shown on the 6.24 G.E. image. As a local, are you able to confirm that photographi...

Re: Madrid Colmenar Viejo (LECV) 2024

Hi Colin,
Tuesday 8.10 Bo.105ATH (HA.15-45)/ET-314 'FAMET HA.15 1980-2017' was parked at right angles in front of the three Bolkows you note. We didn't check if it was still there on Friday though (keen to get down to Cuatro Vientos before the rain).

AV8 EF18 SF5M EUROFIGHTER serials anyone?
A friend has identified 3 of the Typhoons (14-14,14-64 & 14-78) from photos posted on 'X'.
Is anyone able to confirm the total number of Typhoons on the ground at Torrejon on that very wet Saturday morning, please?

Re: Bucharest, BIAS August 2024

Hi Graham, It's a few years since we walked round past the cemetery... We only saw 5 x C-130s at Otopeni when we landed early pm on 29.8. (7432 was difficult to read. I recall it was in a grey camo. Is 5927 still in a green camo? ) We didn't try for the C-27Js. So, sorry, no help at all. Freeman &am...

Hi pjotrtje,
might the P-3 serial be a typo?

Re: Bucharest Friday 1.12.23 Great Union Day flypast

Freeman. You beat me to it, with your excellent Flypast Log. I viewed, the Flypast from N44.48328 E026.07581.This in on a boulevard, named, Soseau Bucharesti Ploiesti, which is near the railway station. From here, the flypast passes right to left. I was thwarted, by the light a little. But didn't d...
