Many thanks. It's highly appreciated. If you like the Basler BT-67, then you might also like this helo in USFS colors...... Shot by me at Lancaster-Fox Field in June 2006.

Cheers,
Iwan

Nice shots!!!

But, this wasn't Sheiks last demo flight.
On November 27th, he will fly its last demo flight for the RNLAF F16 Demo Team at Volkel AB.

Hi all, thanks for your reactions .

Special for Iwan, and for all other fans of firefighting aircraft , two of my photo's of the Basler. Unfortunately the sun was not cooperating for the first photo.

By the way, love the helo Iwan.

Thanks Bassa and JB5,

Now I have something more to chase when I get back to the States. During the past seven visits to the USA I have developed a lust for airtankers and other fire related aircraft which turned out to be almost bigger than regular military aircraft. P-2 Neptunes, S-2 Trackers and P-3 Orions just excite me more than F-16's shot during landing. The same goes for the choppers like the old S-54 Skycranes or the AH-1 Cobra. And now this Basler-bird.....

Thanks again for sharing the photos.

Cheers,
Iwan

So his season is over, i understand.

Acccording to http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/news/?id=32818" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; this was not Sheik's last demonstration flight (yet), this will be on Friday the 27th of November.

Het dertigjarig bestaan van het demoteam wordt op vrijdag 27 november gevierd met een jubileum demovlucht boven vliegbasis Volkel. Dat gebeurt in het bijzijn van commandant luchtstrijdkrachten Jac Jansen en alle demovliegers uit de afgelopen dertig jaar.

Dit zal tevens de laatste demovlucht zijn van het huidige F-16 Solo Display team en vlieger Ralph Aarts. Na drie jaar nemen kapitein-vlieger Tobias Schutte en een ondersteunend team van vliegbasis Leeuwarden deze taak over.

Ok, good to know, he probably meant last demo flight @ any place but Volkel .. Greetings, and very nice to see some Fire Cobra's!..
