Indeed, 5360 on Thursday also.

Various media outlets report on the transfer of Serbia’s 14-strong MiG-29 fleet to France as part of the Rafale deal. This should happen in December after which the Fulcrums will be handed over to Ukraine. This all sounds a bit dodgy since Serbia seems part of the Z-coalition and delivery of the fir...

Both pilots (a captain and a lieutenant) still missing, along with their jet. Apparently no beacons were activated on the this jet before the accident, likely meaning the ejection seats were not used :-( A video om the France 3 website shows a piece of fuselage with a roundel of the jet that was qui...

2x Rafale ETR03.004 with three pilots in total

No. Closed till 22 July due to work on taxi/runways, according to NOTAM.

I don’t know where the remaining Eufies/Tornados relocated to.

Will there be any military flight activity for the coming two weeks at Laage? Notam states no flights from 25th till 28th of June...? You have misread the NOTAM. Also because ADSB is now showing Eufies operating out of Laage. FIve TLG71 jets and one? TLG73 jet will deploy together with two? TLG31 j...

Mentioned in W&R section Scramble June 24.

This airfield is north east of Konya, not north west! Mentioned F-84G and KT-1 look very much like T-33s on Google Earth....

Curious how you managed to read these two off. Really curious where you found the RS code on the C-130......

Should be RAF

Additionally 80-739 has received a SEA colourscheme.

CM170R 198 is coded 315-GC
CM170R 324 is coded 315-QD

Addition:

Two Rafale C from Mont-de-Marsan performed a fly-by over RW 23

I remember that around 20 years ago, the US bought about 20 Mig-29s from Moldova to prevent them from being sold to Iran. That was the official reason. But not all Moldovan MiG-29s were bought which is strange if you want to prevent any from falling in Iran’s hands… Around the same time many other ...
