Dubai Airshow 2021

[The DJ]

What is the serial in between brackets for Apache 050? AFAIK its FMS is 90-0465

Isn't 90-0465 an A-model FMS? Most likely when converted to D-model they received a new FMS?
At the 2019 show 062 had FMS 06-6466.

[Erazkiel]

Thanks guys for the log, juste came back from the show, will check my pics and complete if needed.

On day 2 F16 USAF + MV22 USMC flew (got the reg on the camera)

[CJ]

A few additions:

UH-60L 2621 in the static has CN 703211 on crash plate (and S-70A as the type

Monday's demo included MV-22B 167906/02. VMM-362 badge on tail, but still marked as 'VMM-166'. F-16CM 91-390SW also flew, marked 55FS.

AW139s visiting on Monday were: 209, 2009, 2014, 2020 and DU-142.

From the parking lot Russian Air Force IL-76MD RA-78845 could be seen parked east of the static, while Russian Air Force Tu-154M RA-85042 was seen taking off.

[Mr.Herkybird]

Another few additions for sunday, parked at the civil terminal were RA-85042 Tu154M Russian AF and UP-B5701 B757 Kaz.AF.

Another round here on the 17. found a all grey B412 parked on the apron, showing absolutely no markings and beeing worked on. Probably had arrived by airfreigth before.

The missing UH-60 in the flyby definitely ended in 0, that´s the only serial I can read on the photo and only on those taken from behind.

A visit at Umm al Nar on Monday saw several of the participants of the fly by again (and not much more) and the two UH-60 flying were 2638 and 2650.

Here's a close-up of the one missing. Doesn't seem to carry anything?

[KDoughty2]

Did you get any shots of the UH-60's nose on as they also carry their serials on the nose

Sadly no.
