Re: Frisian Flag 2018

During a visit in august 2017 at Norvenich, our guide told us that the unit will be deployed with 8 aircraft to Leeuwarden in April. So expect (again) some german Eurofighters for FF.

Re: Belgium rejected the French offer for Rafale

What I understand for the Belgium bid replacing the F16 there are only two aircraft left to choose from. F35 Lightning II and the Typhoon. Choice will not be that difiicult I think as the F35 is the latest generation fighter, has stealth capabilities and has itself proven during exercises in the USA...

Re: EHGR 17-10-2017

Cougars S458 en S459 lijken terug te keren naar Gilze. Nu, volgens adsb, in de buurt van Aken. Mogelijk dat hun aandeel in de oefening er op zit.

Re: 15/6: Spottersday Tactical Weapons Meet, Florennes

By the way my weatherforcast-sites predict westernwinds so RWY26. Is that situation better ... ? Runway shots with 26 in use; takeoff for F-16's, Hawks and Eufi's are OK as they just are off the ground. More difficult for the Phantoms and Migs. The height of the gras, if not cut, will be obstructio...

Re: 15/6: Spottersday Tactical Weapons Meet, Florennes

Does not seem like a great place for photography then ... or am I wrong? It all depends how photo minded the TWM organisation is. If they let the aircraft taxi along the spotters (like on other spottersdays in the past) it will be OK, I think. But I do not know if this will be the case this year. R...

Re: 15/6: Spottersday Tactical Weapons Meet, Florennes

So currently no use for a stepledder at Florennes? Or still needed to shoot landing shots like above over the fence? Sorry haven't been there in a loooong time.. :-) Thanks in advance guys! I advise to take a stepledder when you want to take pictures from outside the base if runway 26 is in use. It...

A question for spotters with previous experiences ... If I look at this map https://www.dropbox.com/s/46gebobv4owmd ... 7.jpg?dl=0 am I right about the following? Taxiway with backlight, so only sun behind you, facing the runway? Distance to the runway aprox. 200m? And the place near the runway see...

Re: 15/6: Spottersday Tactical Weapons Meet, Florennes

Good evening A question does anybody no how high the gras is in the spotters area. I saw some pictures on facebook with really high gras in front off the airplanes you can't see wheels any more. A couple off years ago it was the same way. Way to high gras for good quality pictures on the runway. Th...
