Re: AIRPOWER 2011 - Zeltweg

Seems this show always attracts something interesting as well as the Austrian AF. What is the show like ? >> So far all shows at Zeltweg were a great success, also the 2009 event which saw less participants than previous years. The runway is east west which side do we stand north or south ? >> South...

Re: AIRPOWER 2011 - Zeltweg

Concerning the Italian AF it seems like this info is wrong. Turned out that someone mentioned the EF in a forum and I checked the IAF website now but no type is mentioned there so I think the confirmed participation on the site is refering to the C-27. I am sorry but the EF can be cancelled from the...

Maldivian Air Taxi Twin-Otters

Hi everyone, In mid April I had the chance to catch some Twotters landing near our holiday resort in the Indian Ocean. Not much variety in this thread but these red taxis are a nice subject anyway. I hope the photos are of interest! ------- On final to the tiny island Maayafushi: http://img17.images...

Very sharp shots! I like the creative b/w shots as well. May I ask what kind of lens was used?

Re: RIAT 2011 Participation list

Why is the slovak mig unrealistic?. It was flying at western airshows Last year, they are a tiger sqn so it goes with the theme and they are already confirmed for some other western airshows this year. I did not say it is unrealistic. I just dont think it will happen, but I'd be happy to be proved ...

The Austrian Air Force do not have a display pilot and have never flown a full display with the Typhoon, not even at the...

757 - action in Innsbruck (LOWI)

Hi everyone, Here are a few impressions from Innsbruck (LOWI) taken this winter season - mostly 757s among a few others. Unfortunately once again there was hardly ever snow, so it may not look like winter in some shots. I hope you enjoy! -------- http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/5070/goobpb752img7...
