It's probably cheaper to buy a new F-16 than upgrading the engines on a MiG-29 with all the work that would have to be done on avionics, flight control systems and so on. Certainly some lightly used F-16's from another country upgrading to the F-35. Didn't Canada buy a bunch of fighters from Austra...
Jump to postAn Italian KC767A (reg MM62227) has just recently landed in Poland at the Port Iotniczy Rzeszow Jasionka Airport. Also a NATO E-3A (reg LX-N90456) callsign Nato2 is doing circle work south south east of Lublin in Poland. KC-135-R (reg 61-0315) as LAGR223 over Kosice in Slovakia. I wonder if Turkey ...
Jump to postI was at IAD yesterday and I noticed there were still Cathay signs sprinkled throughout the terminal complex, and it got me wondering, how many international carriers have suspended service to IAD over the years? Off the top of my head: -LAN Peru (2018?) -Cathay Pacific (2020) -Alitalia (2020) -Aer...
Jump to postAny news lately? I've searched the web and haven't seen anything. Personally, I'm a fan of the program. It replaces ancient airframes without starting an arms race. I just hope they can get the GE engines. You searched the internet about the tennis court "XL" and didn't know it already ha...
Jump to postAlso keep an eye on Kalningrad sometimes from Poland and sometimes over the Baltics. Fun to watch them.
Jump to postRed Flag, that is why I saw 2 NATO E-3s come over last week on RadarBox.

Thanks for telling me that. Do you know what there even used if they don't fly? I believe they use a Su-27UB or one of the prototype Su-30 aircraft as a chase plane now. What else is in the Russian Air Force emergency war reserve? I have been told there are MiG 23/27, SU-15, TU-22 and MiG 25 but I'...

Defiantly sounds military. Surprised it’s on flight aware. Most ADS-B-equipped military aircraft are on FlightAware if you look for them. In my experience Radarbox is the best tracker to use for military flights. Look at, say Oklahoma City during the day, you will see loads of Texan trainers and ot...
Jump to postSquawking and showing up on FR24 or other trackers are two different things. My company’s planes are blocked, for example, for competitive reasons. As I’ve said, a lot of aviation is none of the public’s business. Radarbox24 does show military flights. With the smaller number of commercial flights ...

This is another case of those who wan to draw one conclusion or another will continue to do so. But the facts will be the facts. Emotion and wishing have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Jump to postIts OK I am an INDEPENDENT not on one side or the other but your responses from the Progressive side and derision make me wonder why you are so blind to what others think?

Jump to postI am curious as to where you live, NLCFFX. Literally every Wal-Mart I have ever been to across the Western United States, the beater cars have pro-Second Amendment, pro-tRump, and Confederate flags. I saw one Hillary sticker one time.

Jump to postI do like the way you try to reword the "both sides do it" phrase. Both sides do not do it, so it does not excuse "rope tree journalist" that the right was never outraged over..... Where do you see that? Both sides do the same, that is a fact. Examples abound. I did not ever say...

Jump to postI'd like to see that video if you could post a link please. As to your question it depends on the units mission.
