"I can only see an F-15 on those pictures :?"

Re: Yuma airshow vs El Centro

Hi Dmitri, I visited both airshows last year and although both are nice I think Yuma is the most interesting. More variety in the flying program with F-5's, AV-8, F-35 A and B, V-22, AH-1 and UH-1 and some WW2 planes against the Blue Angles and some demo's from WW2 planes, T-33, F-86 etc. (check htt...

Re: Filter op een Canon 70-200 en/of 100-400

Ik heb een B+W uv-filter van ik meen 70/80 Euro voor m'n Canon 100-400 mrk II gehad en kon hierdoor geen scherpe foto meer maken (onverklaarbaar scherpteverlies op willekeurige plekken op de foto's), dus heb deze er uiteindelijk weer afgehaald. Ja, niet fijn om geen bescherming voor m'n glas te hebb...

Re: EHVK 16-06-2019

Did the Spanish EF-2000 started up from the static line (RWY24L) or where they towed to the north side of the field before start-up and departue? And are the Greek F-4's still on the static or moved somewhere else on the field?

MCAS Yuma Airshow 2019

On March the 9th I visited Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona for their annual airshow. Just like the years before it was a great event with a small but interesting static and a great airshow with the US Marines showing most of their air assets in a spectacular way. 1. https://i79.photobucket.co...

Kingsley Field

Hi,

Anybody ever been to Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base to watch the F-15's from the 173rd FW from outside (approach end)? Curious about the possibilities here.

Thanks in advance!
