Scramble Messageboard

Good evening,

I am aware that Air Defender 2023 related missions will just be flown in the morning. Does anyone know if there will be any activities in the afternoon or will the morning ones be the only flight operations?

Any hints are appreciated.

WARNING!!!! We wanted to spend the day around the Air Base yesterday. The camera stayed at the hotel intentionally, in order to avoid any trouble. So we just had water, snacks and our eyes. Found a place close to a church, around 800 meters away from the fence. A local melon farmer approached us in ...

Thanks a lot for the responses and advises.
Guess the camera will stay at the hotel

We are planning to spend several days at Araxos during the exercise. Any idea what the spotting situation is like? Any trouble with security, police or neighbors? Heard some stories about arrested spotters around two years ago. Any hint is appreciated as I prefer to stay in my hotel instead of a cos...

Does anyone know if all rehearsals / validation flights will be conducted on saturday or will any of them be flown tomorrow already?
Thanks for your support!!

Good afternoon,

just curious if this event will take place this years as well as I couldn´t find any announcement up to now.

Cheers,

Just a short question about your experiences regarding airshows at Nancy in the past: Is there any chance to find a spot in the village of Ochey or will this area be entirely closed by the authorities? Regarding the runway direction I am not too happy with the sun situation and consider to find anot...

I am sure you expect foreigners to stick to local rules and regulations as well, right? And there we go again with the black and white. Yes, I want them to stick to some rules, but if a foreigner walks through a red traffic light here I couldn't give a damn. So which is it then? Black or white? Tha...

So no, it is still not black and white and I am not going to all of a sudden sh*t my paints just because somebody else does. Erwin Sometimes the pants full of sh*t can be more comfortable than being arrested...nevertheless, I like the Sudoku idea ;-) Apart from that, just being careful and deciding...

The world is never black and white, so stating that a place is from now on a 'no-go' area is a little exaggerated if you ask me. Lets also not forget there is a difference between taking pictures and spotting. In many places where the sight of camera may land you in jail in no time, pure spotting o...

I can only warn to follow our hobby in any arabian country. I used to live in the UAE and worked at an airport over there, but also spent some time in other countries in the area (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar). Rest assured that there is absolutely no understanding for spotting over th...

And also some of mine...a great event, unfortunately with a sad background...SMOKE ON FOREVER!!!!

Coming to the end

Hope you enjoyed them, even after the Tattoo finished two weeks ago!

All the best,
Felix

And some more...

Good afternoon all together, my very first contribution to this excellent forum!! I have to admit that there are so many great photographers around so that it is always a pleasure to see the latest pictures and reports :respect: Since I just found the time to go through my RIAT 2012 pictures, I woul...
