Ik denk dat ik helaas mijn film kwijt ben waar veel RIAT spul op stond.
Inderdaad een typo, J-005 was de correcte registratie.

Gisteren, 9 augustus verloor ik op Volkel een filmpje. Het betreft een zwart-wit film Ilford Pan F in een zwart plastic busje. Ja, ik doe na 59 jaar nog steeds analoog. Ik was op de zuidkant van het veld tegenover de officiële spottersplek. Er was een Volkel spotter en iemand uit Woensdrecht met zij...

Dear all, I am not sure whether this request belongs in this section but I am urgently looking for a picture of a missing man formation. This photo will be used on the funeral card of a long time spotter who passed away last Saturday. Please , please. I hope somebody can help me.

The CFMU follows the type designator as used by ICAO. Years ago a Dutch spotter, Peter Vercruijsse, who worked in Air Traffic Control, was responsible for type designations for ICAO. He initiated the rule that military versions of civil aircraft should follow the civil type designator as given by th...

Some additions to the log above. Seen departing were C-17A 95-0104 Tn.AG and C-17A 03-3115 Ms.AG.

Maybe I am wrong but as far as I know Alconbury never had aggressor F-16's. They were based at Bentwaters.

I think the date in the heading should be 14-10-19.

Not all of them are TLwG73. 30+74 and 30+88 carried TLwG74 markings upon arrival.

SF-5M AE.9-029/23-18 left for home yesterday (June 4th), and was replaced by AE.9-27/23-16. The third F-18 from Gando is (C.15-73?)/46-01. The third C.101 is unidentified but in Pat. Aquila markings. We left around 16:45L and no F-35's showed up so the rumour was just that. Jan-Pieter Bergmans Arnol...

The third F-5 is AE.9-28/23-17. The Falcon is TM.11-4/472-04.
