Re: August 20th air parade Hungary

Thanks, Levente. It's all very interesting, especially your PS. How have the times changed? There is no Szolnok programme and only one Mi-17 left.

Regards, Mike.

Exercise Nomad 1995 at RAF Waddington

One of those great exercises back in the day, adding to the excitement of the transporters and a full mission on the last morning, the Austrian Air Force J35D Drakens started arriving late in the morning for their following week's deployment to the ACMI range. Great photo memories. You can see it al...

Paris Défile 2024 practise at BA123 Bricy

This previews what you will see for anybody visiting France on Sunday for the Défilé. All photos were taken during the practice, and as is customary, there is an excellent range of types. I hope they help.

Re: Mainland China trip 1979

Hi Convair, yes no problems with the cameras. The usual ask for no photos of certain buildings people etc. Sometimes you just have to stray!!

Mainland China trip 1979

Yes, a long time ago, almost forty-five years, and very covert. Aircraft were not the main mission, but I photographed some interesting aircraft types. https://legendarymilavia.blogspot.com/2 ... in-il.html

Spanish Air Force F-4 Phantoms underwire from Ala 15 EF-18Ms.

Navarra, Northern Spain and the last resting place of many of the Spanish Air Force F-4 Phantoms. Perhaps better not to look if you adore the F-4 Phantom!

Phantoms and Lightning, re-heat and spray. That was the arrivals day for that iconic meeting to say farewell to 56 Squadrons "Firebirds" Phantoms. Saturday's weather gets talked about, but Fridays were truly cyclonic... I have just found these in my slide collection. I' am not sure that th...

Atlantic Trident 21, F-35's and mega Rafales.

I made the trip for this exercise being held in Europe for the first time. There were some very nice aircraft types, but the leading contenders were the 'HL' F-35's and the vast amount of Rafales along with Mirage 2000s, PC-21s and more. :thumb: For anybody interested, it's all to be seen in the lin...

Exercise Cooperative Bear 98 at RAF St Mawgan

Some real gems attended this exercise back in 1998. For me the Latvian L410 took top spot but others included Romanian C-130B and An-26's from Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Hope you may find them interesting. https://legendarymilavia.blogspot.com/2021/08/exercise-cooperative-bear-...

523rd FS (Crusaders) RAF Fairford "Salty Hammer" 1995

It's 1995, and Fairford hosted F-111F's from the 523rd FS from Cannon AFB, New Mexico; they remained for Central Enterprise, which bought Four B-52's into RAF Fairford.
Hope that they are of interest?
