A very nice Flypast, which had initially looked, to be threatened by very low cloud. Which luckily improved.
A few more, Air Force items than last year, namely the Lancers and F-16's.

Hopefully, I was not the only Spotter present.
Help with the missing Navy Puma. Would be more than welcome.

Cheers.

Hello again.

Just realised the missing IAR-99s were in Renes post. Doh!
Namely 708 and 711.
Post now edited to add that information.
Only the Navy Puma to go.

Cheers.

Hi Terry,

Many thanks for posting you log!
Maybe you can edit your log and add 708 and 711.

Wave 15.

5913. MiG-21MF-75 Lancer A, Flotila 95 ?
6010. MiG-21MF-75 Lancer C. Esc 861.

5913 was converted to LanceR C to replace the MiG-21 that crashed last year. It belongs to Esc. 861 and was noted by me at Constanta on November 5th.

Small correction on the IAR-99s.

IAR-99C are called Soim
IAR-99 are not Soim, but called Standard.

Soim is the advanced version of the standard with glass cockpit and advanced avionics.

Hi Rob.

Thanks, for the information regarding 5913. Its presence now makes sense.

I had always thought, that the IAR-99 was called Soim. Thanks for the clarification.

Cheers.

Terry M.
