Re: Alaska Friday 10 Feb 2023: another balloon/high-altitude object shot down, again by an F-22 Raptor......
One theory put out there was that the Larger Ballon may have been doing LIDAR scans of the land near the ICBM sites. LIDAR takes lasers and maps the exact contours of the ground that can be used for cruise missile navigation. The US Tomahawk cruise missile uses GPS,INS and can match it's location to...

Re: The demise of ADS-B Exchange?
Just from a quick comparison of the two sites globe.adsb.fi had 1900 aircraft being tracked and ADS-B Exchange had 5700 but coverage in my area they seemed the same. I worry that ADS-B exchange might end up a pay site but they claim no major changes will be made for now.

Re: REQ: Advice on antenna
When I went to Nellis AFB USA I had a BC-125 with the stock rubber duck antenna. Most of the spotters there had the longer flexible Diamond Antenna and were picking up more planes at greater range. Also Scanners are legal in the USA. Police radio's are mostly digital and if they don't want you to he...

Re: Nellis AFB (LSV/KLSV) - 2023
https://www.dreamlandresort.com/ Red Flag 23-2 date has been confirmed according to the above website. NEW date is March 13-24 2023. This date is a change from most that I have seen. The website now says 6 Israeli F-35's and three 707 Tankers will attend but no longer says the F-15's will attend. I ...

Re: Moscow flypast 09 May 2019
Sorry to hear you missed out. The only thing you can depend on about Russia is that you can't depend on anything. You might try to get a hold of "Alex Snow" on Facebook. He is a Russian Spotter that is pretty knowledgeable about Russian Military Aviation. He would know better than the inte...

Re: Moscow flypast 09 May 2019
Yes it is well worth going to the rehearsal. I have been there for three Victory Day Parades. The last fly past I was at was cancelled due to low ceiling. If I was not there on the rehearsal day I wouldn't have gotten any pictures. The best place to see the flypast, military vehicles and troops is j...

Re: Low Fly ACTION Wales LFA-7 UK 9/10/11th of July 2018
I love your sharp clear focus. Seeing every panel line and rivet on a plane doing 250 knots is amazing. What equipment do you use ? Any special Lightroom tricks for bringing out the details ?

Re: ETAR 26-04-2018
I did a little research and the RF-4C is a battle damage repair plane formally from Zweibruken ZR 68-554. The paint job is not accurate that it is in now. There is also a Battle Damage Repair F-15 stored in one of the shelters near the Ammo Dump but I don't know the SN or Tail Number.

Re: ETAR 26-04-2018
The RF-4 is one that has been in the South West Ramp area for years in a shelter. It was towed to Ramp 2-1 for a while then towed into a hangar to be washed. It has been towed back to Ramp 2-1 after the wash. It is rumored that it is being prepared to be placed as a gate guard or put on display some...

Activity around the DC8 and AB320. Fueling and preflights being done. It may fly in an hour or two if weather is OK for their tests.

Re: ETAR 28-08-2017
It always amazes me how much you guys know about what is going on with the aircraft in the USAF. I can confirm 300 is going to be transferred to US Army Corps of Engineers and 375 is being sold to MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of Tech) to be used as a test bed for research experiments. There will no...

My flight wont be into Prague until 11:00 am so I am leaning on staying in Prague and seeing the Airplane museum on Sat and the airshow on Sun. If the Ukrain...
