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...

The way things are going there'll be a shortage of actual Soviet-type air-lifters for any purpose!

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!

With it being at Midlands on the Sunday, I wonder if there is a chance we will see the Draken appear at Duxford? I could see the Vampire or Mig 15 added. Maybe a Jet Provost or Strikemaster. Though part of me is hoping for the Patrouille de France Couple of pretty relevant factors on your wish list...

Great results from mission planning on the hoof! The weather tried to scupper your efforts but you came through with the goods.

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!

For English Members.
"It is used by our Tactical Air Force Squadrons 33 and 51 "Immelmann".

Right!! Not the A319 then?

Happy April 1st to all!

"You may have noticed a slowdown in updates from us and that is partially on purpose as we try to keep Night fright's restoration more of a surprise until she rolls out of the hangar for the first engine runs. We'll post what we can throughout the coming months. " For me, the biggest surp...

Fantastic shots & content. That Dragonfly is a Beaut' for sure!

The French Navy (Aeronavale) has stated officially it will NOT be supporting any domestic or overseas Airshows this 2024 Year. They are not even attending the NTM24 at Schleswig Jagel in June. :open_mouth: Their displays have been a significant & very welcome participation at La-Ferte-Alais &...

Nothing allocated yet! I saw this (preliminary?) Schedule & it doesn't seem they're overly committed to too much? The Pat' Suisse are already self-confirmed for RIAT 2024. Statement:- The Swiss Air Force has an exciting display schedule for its F/A-18 Hornet team in 2024. Let’s take a look at th...

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...

https://twitter.com/airvehicles/status/1772192896361390206?s=46&t=MrByk9E0ZD1fN2EAXOlQkw I guess the decision to rejuvenate Doncaster (Finningley) wasn't on the table when this was agreed. There's got to be a really good reason why the Airlander Project wasn't a suggested development adjacent t...

Excellent scans from prints. Had a look at your Flickr Album too. Great to see these nearly 25 year old shots.

Sounds like a good plan & hopefully the figures stack-up in operational terms? Must admit saw this story broken by others earlier this week, but assumed they had gone-off a week early for April! :thinking: Continuing in a flippant vein, may I be the first of the many to ask, "When will the ...

Wishing for those days again without a hope! Not checking back, I can recall in different years a Mig 29, Mig 31,SU-24, SU-27, YAK-141. Mi-26, AN-72, AN-124 (the AN-22 with the spare engine that continued beyond the end of the runway & nearly parked in the Fleet Canal?) & the AN-225. :sungla...

I applaud any Organiser that arranges & facilitates the opportunity for enthusiasts to attend these special events, particularly so when the profits go to worthy causes. Me, I didn't attend during the daytime or evening as I prefer stuff flying, which 'Jersey Jerk' will be when I first get to se...

At first i thought you were too keen in that crap weather
But you did get to see a weeks flying in that one visit!

Rest easy Guys, the 2024 edition of the Kecskemét show has been cancelled by the Hungarian MoD (officially).
They say postponed until 2025. I'm getting deja vu here?

Long gone are those days when avid visitors stood close to the runway in long coats (similar to the dodgy flasher type!) & watched the displays of ultra low-flying aircraft from un-fenced areas, just a whisker away from tragic consequences! Then latterly the landowners outside the airfield were ...

Agreed. It states : Our award-winning "74 Tiger" has been defoiled over the last week and is now back on the road as a grey mouse. However, as always, many great memories will remain Thanks to everyone who was involved in this once again successful project... True to the motto "After ...

If there is any difference, they've heavily disguised it! Unless you are attending solo I don't think there's much chance of 2 or more getting registered?
My money is on the website crashing within 5 minutes of opening!
