Re: Beja Portuguese AF show 1-2 June
Have to agree the text below the OP's Video post is non-committal. It says :- "Make way for speed! ⚡ The F-15E, from the American Air Force, and the F-16, from the Romanian Air Force, will be present at the Beja Air Show! 🇺🇸 🇷🇴 On the 1st and 2nd of June, Beja is a mandatory stop!" Image C...

Re: Warplane Workshop Series 2
For me the BHHH episode has been the most 'off target' show so far! Nowhere near enough focus on the subject aircraft & too mush b&w footage of Battle of Britain archive film.
By all means tell me about the work ethic, but for Chris' sakes show me more of it being done!

Kristin 'Beo' Wolfe flying the borrowed Lakenheath F-35 at Kleine Brogel in 2023 was absolutely amazing. That jet was maxed-out in all directions!

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
Your low-level shots are excellent, were they shot from the road location, or the canyon outcrop? Base shots are equally good with very little evidence of heat haze being a factor at this event! Must agree with Caper, the Romanians are special but the Qatari's edge it for me too. :wink: May I ask if...

Re: Help please... lost in deciding on a new camera system
As there seems to be nobody stepping forward, I'll make a start. Your budget dictates you're firmly in the 'used' equipment category. You can re-equip with a high-quality combination to suit your outlined needs. Optics should prevail over the camera body. The best camera body in the World won't give...

There is a precedent for this, as they named the F-16 ‘Jastrząb’ (Goshawk) and M.346 ‘Bielik’ (white-tailed eagle) in Polish service. I wonder what the Polish is for ‘slug’? Continuing the trend of avian related names & with a nod to the social media generation, I give you the 'popular' Lakenhe...

Re: La Ferté-Alais 2024
As we approach 6 weeks until the 2024 edition, I can't seem to find a current 'Flying List' for the show? I need to see some serious additional content added before committing to travel for this show.
The listing most easily found is way too lightweight to be attractive to me!

Sadly, with Cosford being mid-NTM24 & on the same day as RDAF Aalborg, i'm prety sure there's somewhere between Bob Hope & No Hope of snagging a current military International jet display!

Really liking the variety here. 'Proper' US. Airshows are hard to come by after you've stripped away the entourage of Season-long performers. Yuma is great end to end. F-5 formation is :crazy_face: Given the orientation at Travis, these shots are really good & you seem to have that Bridge camera...
