Hi Michael, Was on the base during another nice visit. Don't have the log yet, but the other F900 is the 45-40. In total 14 F-18's were on the platform of which 8 departed (2 from ala 15). Unfortunately (due to budget constrains) only F-5's and AV-8's participated from Torrejon, so less visitors the...

And it was gone home on Friday when I visited again for the public day. Regarding the units, I will work on that coming week when I will go through all my pictu...

Hi all, Over the past week(s) the South African Navy has had an excercise together with the Indian and Brazilian Navy.

Hi Arnold,

Unfortunately not.
I could not get on the flightline itself for the K-8's.
And the A-109's were in between helicopters being refueled and taking off, so that was not possible.

Hi all, Just got back from a very good day at Ysterplaat AB for AAD 2010. Sunny all day, so perfect conditions. Much better than Wednesday when it was only starting to get better late morning or yesterday when it was overcasted almost all day. The US Navy or Marines did not turn up nor did the C-5 (...

Hi all, Spend the day at AAD 2010 and it was a very good show. Still trading days, so wondering around was allowed. They have a small static display of the SAAF musuem and also the current planes and helicopters. Then there is the flightline and in between the hangars are the civilian planes and hel...

Hi Chr!s85,

Please can you let me know when you took these pictures?
I was in Hermanus earlier this week as well and driving in from Betsy's Bay, I saw an A-109 flying towards Hermanus.
Maybe a long shot, but there are not that many flying around in this area.

Thanks in advance.
