Re: Red Arrows 60th Diamond Season

People should be careful what they wish for!, yes the current displays seem a little “tired and repetitive” but should this,(as some allude to), be their last season then many air shows/events will probably go the same way! Despite all the recent problems they have had, the Reds are still a great dr...

Hi all,
Quick question. Does anyone know where the helicopters would land at Windsor Castle? TIA
Mike
Think it’s called the “East Lawn” just outside the Castle grounds….JB will travel in motorcade from there into the Castle.

Certainly is…..went “tech” on the 15’th en route Northolt…..then went “tech” again at Northolt…..had t...

Re: Russia to create new 'elite' attack aviation group?

Watching Sky News last night….ex RAF Air Vice Martial, Sean Bell, who is an analyst on there, mentioned that the Russian Airforce are actively recruiting “retired airforce pilots” to man these squadrons! Makes you wonder about the current state of the Russian Airforce and if it will be able to actua...

It's a fact that eighty-five percent on this forum are retired.

..I know it's a fact as I invented it:)

2nd C-17 on approach to Northolt now…..06-6164. RCH3206…..rumoured to have another helo onboard! Well it won't, because if you look at its history on ADSB it's been nowhere near MCAS Quantico. One helicopter into Northolt as a backup is probably all we'll see. I believe the 2 C-17s into Mildenhall ...
