Does F-84 FU-50 have an MDAP number?

Yes: 52-7011

Erwin

Thanks!

Indeed it should be 52-7011 if this really is FU-50. However, 52-7001 is stencilled on the aircraft, probably by mistake:



The same thing was the case with another Belgian vintage aircraft at Florennes: a '0' was accidentally used on the tail of SV.4C V30. Its construction number is 1172, but on the tail it reads '1072':

Just a little help: they're not all T.1's, but also T.1A's and a T.1W (see my additions)

Two of the F-16's parked in the shelter area were BM's FB-21,22

F-16A's present in this area today (Sunday) are

FA-98, 101, 123 Spcl, 128, 133, 136

Hmm, I didn't read the 136, but I did read the 132... Anyone a second opinion?

Steef

[AMC]

FA-132 was in the static across FA-57. FA-136 was in the flightline. Came in Friday with FA-123 (display aircraft). FA-136 is the spare F-16.

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Ah, right, thanks, I misinterpreted my own notes.

I see RN-06 and M-3 reported for Thursday. These were not present or visible during Sunday's events. Did these two leave before Sunday?

Thanks for the help.

Stephan

[Wim]

On Thursday, alouette III M2 and M3 arrived as Bluebird53 formation. M3 went back to Koksijde with the crew of M2. On Monday M3 arrived with the crew of M2 and both left to Koksijde again later on.

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Dank je Wim! Nu 't RN-06 verhaal nog.

which means this one performed an approach (A) only.

[Stephan Lodewijks]

A for Approach, not for Arrival, got it! Thanks!

I would say by mistake indeed, as 52-7001 never made it to Belgium, so rather unlikely it is correct. But interesting to know nevertheless! Thanks.

I think that 504 had the blue fintip with white stars that belongs to 343Mira?

Greetings, Paul

[frank kramer]

That is true. But looking at the teams website it would be safer to state that Zeus is a joint effort of the entire 115th Combat Wing at Souda. Flying crew, support crew and technical come from all units, either 340sqn, 343 sqn or SMET.
