Luchtmachtdagen 14-15 June 2019 at Volkel off topic

[MSB24784]

I'm not just talking about Volkel, but more generally. I also know that they do their best. That's not the point. In my eyes you can also be critical sometimes. And it’s not just ordinary people who want to go to such an event, but also spotters. Some of them find the mentioned things important. Ridiculous that it is you don‘t come to us, so we don’t come to you. Just like NL does not do other important foreign tasks. If you look at the development and testing of the new F-35 for example, NL also works closely with the USA. They also come to Frisian Flag, so why not here? Perhaps it is also about which countries they invite. If the same countries are always invited, you will probably also get the same aircraft. I mean, I get it that they don't invite countries like Russia and Iran, but there are plenty of other countries close. And everyone has and may have their own opinion, right?! If you just look at it in black and white, it is not a very spectacular and innovative program and that is a fact and also my opinion.

It would be nice if they can get some d-day birds ( old/new ... )

Yeah, would be great if they could get those Norwegian Viper and LN F-15E over, they both look great! (but wishfull thinking I'm afraid)

[Arjan]

It is said that 331 skv will send two birds over, so it seems likely that this special one will come.

Om 13.00 uur vandaag hebben we een verrassing in petto.
Wij zijn er in ieder geval ontzettend blij mee.
En kunnen niet wachten om het met jullie te delen. # EvenGeduld

Daar is 'ie dan, vers van de pers! Onze enige echte poster van de Luchtmachtdagen.
Wij zijn er enorm blij mee.
Net zoals de nieuwe officiële Luchtmachtdagen-app die nu online staat! Wat vinden jullie ervan?

...tsja, dan krijg je op Facebook

toch wat teleurgestelde reakties...

[Alpha Kilo One]

Jongens, jongens, jongens.
Doe liever een aankondiging van een vliegende Staf of desnoods een Spaanse Harrier....
Een poster. Doe me een plezier zeg.

Pleister op de wond: de Saabjes staan in de app wel op het programma voor de vrijdag.
(hopelijk iets langer dan op de website...)

Voor de zaterdag staat er nog niets bij het programma...

Die twee Saabs is prachtig. Nu nog een Starfighter erbij die vliegt. En dan de Griekse Phantoms even rond laten vliegen. Gewoon een paar keer overvliegen, touch and go en landen en verder niks. Dan ben ik al gelukkig!

[Trabanti]

Beste allemaal, mogelijk kan ik er niet bij zijn vrijdag of zaterdag en overweeg ik maandag even bij de departures te gaan kijken. Is normaal gesproken, afgaand op voorgaande edities, de plek langs de kop van 24L vanaf de N264 (Odiliapeel zijde) bereikbaar?

According to their FB page it's unlikely they will be flying at all this year due to issues with the ejection seat.

What's the status of 637?

We've been working against Martin Baker for the reloading of the
Mk7 seat was the first seat from mb equipped with rakettpakke.

Rakettpakken is mounted under the seat and fire off after the seat has lifted a piece upwards.
The first movement is activated by charges sitting in "gun" that are mounted behind seatback.
Rakettpakken makes it possible to conduct a successful launch while the plane is standing still on the

Our Rakettpakker went out on date in November 2018.
It is not justifiable to extend life expectancy, most of legal causes.

Unfortunately, Martin Baker has stopped all the service of seats linked to planes in the category
For us it entails that 637 will be standing on the ground
Are we flying in 2019? Unfortunately, it's highly doubtful.

Although this may sound a bit depressing for everyone
104-enthusiasts then I can comfort you that this does not without further means the end of the 637 adventure.

The team will still work on keeping the plane luftdyktig.
When Seteproblematikken finds his solution, the plane will be ready to fly again.

We are not the only ones struggling with the service of utskytningsseter,
then I think about it pyrotekniske especially.

That we operate seats with rakettpakker makes it all even more complicated.

Unfortunately, there are no options.

It's either Martin Baker or the original lockheed c2 seats.
Charges to c2 we have searched for before.
If they let themselves, the cost will be made to millions.

+A330MRTT static

Which country?

Not stated (in the app at least)

I would tend to say no country but an Airbus demonstrator. So with a civil tail number like they did in KB last year.

[michel N]

Airbus has no A330MRTT demonstrator. They have an A310MRTT they use as demonstrator for the A330MRTT program.

[ebauer]

An Aussy A330MRTT?
