If they didn't change it your Starfighter is 24+43

Sorry, the subject must read "LOG: ETNT 14-04-2010"

Today the afternoon mission of the French and Turkish aircraft was cancelled because of the ash cloud.
It will take a while (2-3 weeks according a German source) before you will see some Phantoms in the air.
A few specialized technicians have to check each ejection seat (4 hours per seat) and first aircraft to be checked will be the Tornado's in Afghanistan, then some Tornado's in Germany, then QRA aircraft, then the rest of the F4's and finally the F4's at Leeuwarden.
And when they find a lot of damaged seats then they have the problem that there are hardly any spare parts for this component.

Last i heard is that they do have enough spare parts, in stock and from planes that have been stored.

This weekend I had one of the Turkish pilots over at my place.
Where he saw the Mirage photo with the guy at the backseat + "HELLO" sign he laughed and also wanted something like that.
I gave him the chance to play with my computer for a while and we both created this sign (A4 size)
Printed a few of it, so possibly more pilots will use it.



So, beware for this coming week and look for Turkish F-16´s with notes like this at the canopy
The first one who posts a photo of it on this forum wins a fridge !! (I got a broken one in my basement, but you have to pick it up yourself !)

I brought this guy back to Wittmund about two hours ago and there he found out that they (the turkish guys) planned to fly again tomorrow afternoon....but do not shoot the messenger !

[CoHaBa]

Are they flying again at Wittmund or is it still a no go because of the dustcloud?

[frank kramer]

Phantoms are apparently grounded untill halfway next week (well, that's what we heard from JG71 staff when we were there yesterday -thanks for the info hanske!), don't know about the rest.

[Serpentah]

Planning to go tomorrow to Wittmund.
If there is any info about the F16 and M2000 misions.
