Thats just inspired me to re-install IL-42 tonight....

I like taking off from Hawaii in a single plane and try to take on an entire formation of bombers.... see how many I get before I run out of ammo or blown out of the sky!

I've only just heard about this; so apologies if it has been discussed before. The Lanc had an engine problem which stranded it in Holland however, our very own RAF would not send a transport to ferry a replacement Merlin out to her citing cost and commitments as per bloody usual. Instead, we had to...

Ta, apparently this is a Gov to Gov deal so if its confirmed; they will be from the RAF Tranche 3 initial batch.

So yes; they will be built at Warton but it will be like the Saudi order; it will mean much slower or delayed Tranche 3 deliveries to the RAF.

With all the media reports that Oman are on the verge of ordering Typhoon... I put photoshop to work Based on their Jag's: http://www.evansaviography.co.uk/stuff/oman/oman01.jpg Based on their F-16's: http://www.evansaviography.co.uk/stuff/oman/oman02.jpg Andy

Of course the yanks don't want to see their President in a successful European designed chopper.....

Oh sorry, they've cancelled the project due to cost.....

Yeah Right.

Andy

Well that's a tasty little update for me, looking forward to seeing the Growler and HuAF gripen especially I just counted no less than 10 static F-16s, plus the RNLAF F-16 on flying. Is anyone planning on complaining about that because I'm not... I'd say we were almost guaranteed one or two from Be...

Maybe they'll bring the ground test airframe down from Brough lol

Helicopter Warfare.... decent aviation docu for a change!

Andy

WIll the USAF have anything flying in the toilets? Will the F-22 be appearing in the toilets this year?

The base does look in good condition though.

Andy

ST, I don't think he got you're sarcasm

I have PM'd him a screenshot of the message (then atleast I can't be accused of typing it myself aswell!); it was a private message between myself and Zeke so out of respect its not coming on the open forum. I dunno, take the trouble to actually go and find out from the Horses mouth and get this; I ...

I can testify that the 70-300VR is a superb lens; I use it as a back-up to my Bigma for close-up slow shutter and bad weather work.

Clicky for my a.net shots taken with this lens.

Andy

I can even print screen the email if you like

Going on that logic; the Osprey was on RIAT 2000's brochure... F-22 on 2007's... a 74Sqn Typhoon on 1999's.....

Andy

That is one serious optical illusion then!

Great catch but have you photoshopped out background items?.... that looks like a ghostly Sea King tail rotor in the background.......

what idiot decided on this to have one base to support all our tankers and transports what they going to do if an incident happens on that one runway Well the transports(c-17, a400, c-130) will just use a taxi-way ala the Harrier at Coningsby. (Its great fun at CBY when the Harrier decides to use t...

Guys, I have been in contact with Zeke, the demo pilot.

They are not displaying the Raptor at RIAT this year.

Andy

Hi guys, I'm sure a few of you have been hearing the rumour that Serbia are attending this year. Well this seems to be confirmed. The latest Air Tattoo gift catalogue has a RIAT advert that has listed as a main attraction first time appearences by Algeria and Serbia! So its a case of Banzai! Place y...

Awesome,

How come they already have a F-15I in the museum??? They're almost brand new!

Andy

It seems the weather gods are smiling upon us... after two washout summers that (were predicted) to be wet by the Met Office. Today the Met Office unveiled their Summer 2009 forecast and.... The coming summer is 'odds on for a barbecue summer'. m Andy (now lets hope that Swine Flu doesn't mean all p...

Is it me? Or is that one fugly chopper with that radome??

Andy

Looks pretty good to me. Funny aircraft the J-10. Every time i look at it i see a different aircraft blended into it. Nose area looks flankerish. Step back a bit and i see a Gripen in there. rearwards and i see a bit of Typhoon. Is it just me? The J-10 is basically a license built Lavi. The US were...

Sadly its not just the RAF; the USAF have much reduced particpation for some of their teams (particularly F-22) this year. Sign of the times and a government that don't know what a Balance sheet is I'm afraid. People demand that UK Typhoon displays are not cancelled and non-UK ones are; then also wa...

There is an Asda, Maccy D and Pizza Hut just inside Swindon, the other side of Blunsdon; the site also has a fuel station. At Blunsdon, next to the Premier Inn there is also a gastropub called the Cold Harbor. EDIT: Never saw the bit about not having a car lol! Sorry! http://www.evansaviography.co.u...
