Re: No Dutch Air Force air show in 2012!!!!
Well i think (and HOPE) that something will happen and that Texel doesn't get to overcrowded by people ;)... because i think that 250.000 people wouldn't fit on the lovely airport they have. Grtz, TG1984 Yeah you are right................................they still have two years to extend the airpo...

Re: No Dutch Air Force air show in 2012!!!!
A very unfortunate choice for defensecuts and a big, big loss for the airshowcircuit in 2012! That means there will be a lot of aircraft available for the 2012 Texel international airshow ( that is normally held every 3 years :idea: ) But if Mike and Ed change the sequence a bit Texel will be the p...

Re: Luchthaven Den Helder vreest sluiting tot eind van het jaar
Is er al iets bekend over het verloop van de rechtzaak? Ik kan nergens nieuws vinden, maar zag vandaag opvallend veel vliegbewegingen , is dit vliegen nu het nog kan? of was het weer de spreekwoordelijke storm in een glas texels bier? Regards Pete Ps. als de B-52 naar de texelairshow komen ben ik be...

Re: Luchthaven Den Helder vreest sluiting tot eind van het jaar
Uiteraard is Texel Airport beschikbaar!!! Het is overigens geen één-tweetje tussen het college en het vliegveld! Nee dat moge duidelijk zijn, zou wel een mooie gelegenheid zijn om wat extra foto's te maken van bezoekende heli's etc. Misschien een b-52 fly-by iets voor de komende editie van de texel...

Re: Luchthaven Den Helder vreest sluiting tot eind van het jaar
En dan vliegen ze vanaf Schiphol of Leeuwarden, dan vliegen ze nog steeds over Texel richting de platformen en heeft men nog steeds geluidsoverlast..... Juist en als ik het voor het zeggen had bij een van deze maatschappijen dan plande ik voor elke vlucht zowel outbound als inbound een fuelstop op ...

Re: Incident A109E Power SP-HXA, 20-11-2009
It is a sheer stroke of luck that the helicopter remained in an upright position instead of turning en tumbling like you would expect in this situation.

Re: 1970s Mil Collection
The big advantage to this design was that it offered symmetrical drag, based on the aircraft centerline, at the rear of the aircraft when applying the speed brakes. This meant fewer corrections on the part of the pilot once they were deployed. I was surprised more aircraft didn't feature this desig...

Re: 1970s Mil Collection
This makes me feel good. I can post a photo that I think is only interesting because it shows somewhat unusual markings (Bicentennial). But someone else sees an aerodynamic question due to some of the detail and the angle of the shot. Then a third person provides a correct answer. Great stuff, this...

They were not sure if it was the body of the sailor. See this text in Dutch[url]http://www.webregio.nl/we...
