Thank you

The pedestal of that 737 cockpit looks very narrow. What subtype is it?

A pair of Royal New Zealand Air Force Bell UH-1H (NZ3806 with NZ3803 flying by) of No. 3 Squadron at RNZAF Station Hobsonville, pictured in 2001. The base closed a few years later, with No. 3 Squadron relocating to RNZAF Ohakea with its Hueys and Bell 47s.

Scene from the past (2001). The #RoyalNewZealandAirForce Hueys have been retired and the Hobsonville base closed down, however No.3 Squadron is still operational, now operating A109 and NH90 #helicopters from #RNZAF Ohakea.

In 2001 I flew with the #RedCheckers demo team of the #RoyalNewZealandAirForce. The team disbanded in 2015 following the retirement of the CT/4E Airtrainer.

AS350BA Ecureuil N22-015/862 seen during hot-refueling at HMAS Albatros near Nowra, NSW during July 1999. The helicopter was operated by 723 Naval Air Squadron, the dedicated training squadron of the Royal Australian Navy. This helicopter is now part of the collection of the Fleet Air Arm Museum, also located at Nowra.

Thank you for the link, forgot the details but nice to refresh it. Anyway, the Aussies still like to bury their aircraft apparently (their NH90s had the same fate)

F-111G A8-277 of 6 squadron based at RAAF Amberley, pictured here in July 1999. After the type was withdrawn from service. many were buried nearby the air base. A rather unusual way to get rid of airplanes.

Finally digitalizing my large slide archive, starting 'Down Under'. An F-111G of 6 squadron, pictured by me at RAAF Amberley in July 1999. After retirement, this airframe was buried nearby its home base.

- 'dé linker motor'? een 747 heeft er 2 links
- 'de motor sloeg op hol'... tja
- 'start op hoge snelheid afgebroken'? in het filmpje is het tegendeel te zien

upinthesky is echt verworden tot een sensatiewebsite vol clickbaitkoppen en feitelijke onjuistheden. jammer.

Boeing C-17A Globemaster III serialled 02 (FMS 08-0002) of NATO's Heavy Airlift Wing. Although a multinational unit, it carries Hungarian national markings because it operates out of Pápa in Hungary.

Interesting. The Danish Air Force is holding a farewell ceremony at Skrydstrup for the F-16 next weekend.

Lockheed F-104G Starfighter 23+01 of the West German Air Force's Jagdbombergeschwader 34 approaches Memmingen air base on 8 August 1984. This aircraft was the first JaBoG 34 Starfighter resprayed in Norm 83 camouflage. JaBoG 34 was Luftwaffe's last operational Starfighter unit; it retired the F-104 in 1987 and was re-equipped with the Panavia PA 200 Tornado IDS. The unit disbanded on 30 June 2003.

An oldie this time. A Luftwaffe F-104G approaches Memmingen on 8 August 1984. 23+01 was the first '104' of JaBoG 34 in Norm 83 camouflage.

No clue tbh. I'll just stick to listening to music and enjoying aviation then 😀

Does air guitar qualify?

A four-ship of Swiss F-5E/F Tiger IIs over eastern Switzerland back in 2003, shot from the backseat of an F-5F. All aircraft were piloted by crew of Ausbildungs- und Dienststaffel 16, flying out of Dübendorf near Zurich.

Since we're having some snow here in the Netherlands, I was browsing through some wintery images. Here's a 4-ship of Swiss Tiger IIs over the Alps in 2003. Only a handful of grey ones are currently still in service.

Thank you!

Thank you, I certainly will!

Me landing Boeing 737-306 PH-BTD at Stavanger's runway 29 on 1 July 2006. Photo by Trine Ur.

On 1 July 2006, I landed this Boeing 737-306 at Stavanger's runway 29 (following a hilarious go-around, but that's another story :-). The photo is made by Trine Ur, our then bus driver for the layover and famous local spotter.

She passed away last summer. Blue skies, Trine.

Night take-off from Helsinki's runway 22R in Boeing 737-7K2 PH-BGM, many moons ago.

After over 36 years of flying, 2026 will see my retirement (few months to go :-). I will surely miss this view.
Best wishes for the new year to all #avgeeks and followers, stay safe and enjoy all opportunities that arise.

Somewhere between Barcelona and Amsterdam, last week

The Netherlands supplied 24 F-16AMs, no two-seaters. Might be ex Danish as it lacks the dragchute compartment.

Super Lynx Mk 88A 83+10 of the Marinefliegergeschwader 5, pictured over Spiekeroog. It is specially marked for the NATO Tiger Meet '25 that was held at Beja, Portugal in September 2025. MFG 5 is based at Nordholz. Recently, the first pair of NH90-MRFH helicopters arrived here. 31 of these were obtained to replace the Super Lynx. The last one is expected to retire in 2027.

For the NATO Tiger Meet '25, the German Navy decorated this Super Lynx. Our photo feature can now be found at www.aviationreview.online/report-tiger...

Very nice.

Lockheed C-130J Hercules (locally designated CC130J) operated by 436 Transport Squadron, 8 Wing Trenton of the Royal Canadian Air Force. 130601 is seen here at RAF Northolt during the Northolt Nightshoot XXXII event last March.

During these dark December days, a night image seems appropriate. a #royalcanadianairforce CC-130J Hercules, pictured during a Northolt Nightshoot event earlier this year.

Eurofighter 98+07, operated by Airbus at Manching, Germany. In 2022 it received this special foiling to celebrate the factory's 60 years of existence at this location (obviously not always called Airbus as previously it was known as e.g. DASA, EADS and Cassidian) On this image, 98+07 takes off for trials with the Meteor BVRAAM missile.

Now online: my large feature (5 parts) on Eurofighter in German service. From the early days to recent procurement, incl. systems, units and a list of aircraft incl. images. Check out www.aviationreview.online/report-eurof...
