Small question for the sunday: what RAF F-35B flew? I saw it when queing for the public conveniences but could not hang around to photograph or read it… bad timing, I admit, but that’s life..

It didn’t fly with the Red Arrows, but with their own demo. I’m sure because I needed that one.

On sunday, there was a vip jet near the saudi hercs, next to the usaf c-37b. Any idea what it was, it was white with black/grey on the bottum.

[frank kramer]

most likely it was Saab's SE-RMK

Yes, thats the one, thank you frank.

A few remarks and questions from my end as well.

The A-4N is confirmed as s/n is 14478. This appears to be former 159806, which was transfered to the IDF/AF. However, IDF/AF A-4N 329 is listed as 159806 with s/n 14505!? Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Furthermore I noted the Vampire arrive, but did not read it off. Some say it was a single seat iso double seat. So is the serial correct? Vampire T.55 LN-DHZ U-1230?

Edit; I found a picture online showing LN-DHY/AL-062. So indeed a single seat Vampire FB.6 (J-1196).

Are the Norwegian Safari MFI-15's or MFI-17's? I see both being quoted.

The Qatari Typhoon also carried ZR521.

14478 is former 159779 and was a A-4M, so this is strange. According to JoeBaugher.com:

159779 (MSN 14478) 1975-76: VMAT-102. 1976-77: VMA-223 as WP-6. 1977-80: VMA-214.
1980: VMA-211. 1983-86: VMA-214. 1986-87: VMA-311 as WL-10. 1987-88: VMA-214 as WE-10.
1989: VMA-214. 1989: VMA-211. 1990: VMA-133. 1991-92: VMA-133 as ME-08.
1992-94: VMA-131 as QG-07 NAS Willow Grove, PA

[Sjoerd]

Although Joe was usualy right, this aircraft definately was a A-4N (with extended tail pipe like the IDF/AF retrofitted). I assume the IDF/AF did not gain this aircraft after it's operational life at Willow Grove, as I assume by then all A-4's already got delivered.
