F-16's live in Ukraine - opinions

Do NOT provide information that can benefit the Orks. They do not have to know how many birds there are, what blocks they are or if they fly or not. Loose lips do not only sink ships...

Re: Operational Dutch F-16's

Just saw a video which clearly shows the searchlight on left side. So they are most likely Danish. Registrations had been blurred in the video (understandable!).

Sorry but can't upload the video here. Don't have the URL.

Re: Operational Dutch F-16's

Today Zelensky showed the first Ukrainian F-16's. The one behind him also does not have the extended drag chute housing. Seems rather clean (fresh paint?) but does not seem to be an ex-Dutch bird. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/04/europe/ukraine-f16s-zelensky-arrival-intl/index.html The two flying ...

Re: quick links / active topics

Not wanting to take away the joy of Addeur Noir of posting all these ADSB logs, an idea would be to make some sort of workaround available. it was suggested 3 years ago in the topic you are referring to but it has clearly not been on a priority list to provide feedback on a successful or unsuccessf...

Re: June 2024 official: Belgium to buy H145M's, replacing NH90s, A109s, MD902s...

The H145M seems smaller than the NH90. So I don’t understand why this is a good replacement for the NH90. If I understand it correctly, they will replace the army NH90 with smaller helicopters and at at the same time think about buying big transport helicopters. The navy will keep the NH90 and migh...

Re: Scanner Uniden Bearcat UBC 220 XLT

UBC125XLT is an affordable handheld scanner which is ok for our purpose. That's the scanner I got as a birthday present two years ago. I thought it would be an easy to use thing. Loooong time a go when I was a teenager I had a small radio with aviation band. Just a knob to dial the frequency. Worke...

Re: Eerste bezoek aan Nellis AFB

Bedankt voor de reacties. De spotterguide kende ik nog niet. De Scramble pagina had ik uiteraard al bestudeerd. Waar ik ook wel benieuwd naar ben, is hoe veilig het is aan de zuid-west kant van de basis. Op een paar crime sites zag ik dat het aantal incidenten daar vrij hoog is. Ik wil natuurlijk li...

Eerste bezoek aan Nellis AFB

Binnenkort ga ik met mijn vrouw op vakantie naar de westkust van de VS. Tijdens die trip zijn we ook twee dagen in Las Vegas. Ik zou graag van de gelegenheid gebruik maken om even bij Nellis te gaan kijken. Ik ben daar nog nooit geweest en de kans is groot dat ik er ook nooit meer kom. Heel veel tij...

...en onderstaande dan voor de AH-64s.... En voor de Reapers. Overigens lijkt het heel wat, zeker als je naar de bijbehorende bedragen kijkt. Maar deze aantallen zijn er in een full scale oorlog zoals in Oekraine in een paar dagen doorheen. Bij 28 Apaches en 8 Reapers heeft elk toestel er slechts e...

It is time the US and allies very firmly stand up against this NATO traitor!
He is holding NATO hostage and should learn such a lesson that these thoughts will never ever cross his mind!

Re: EU-Rusland vluchten ondanks de sancties

Gewoon volledig die grens dicht. Niets meer exporteren of importeren. Helemaal niks. Ook de levering van landbouwproducten gewoon volledig verbieden.
