    Still in doubt whether it should be the Mohawk or the Bronco.

    I remember that Russian surface-to-air missiles warhead from PFFEW type

    PPFFEW= Proximity Fuse Fragmentation Explosive Warhead

    AND this type of warhead explode near the target and cause this holes.

    Nope. Check out some other photo’s of crashed aircraft – you’ll see similar holes. Torn-out rivets, sheet metal burnt except where it was rigged to airframe structures, it’s pretty common.

    I’m not saying the loss of 91-0304 is an accident, but you’re fabricating evidence here.

    UAE is a pretty free country by Arab Standards.

    So was Tunesia.

    The Dutch already have one Lynx there, and it’s not flying 🙂

    Any Western intervention is the perfect way to de-legitimise the protesters.

    I wish the revolutionaries all the best and hope they get all sorts of support, but as soon as any foreign country intervenes it takes away the original goal of removing a dictatorship, and changes it into a foreign-influence-gaining-contest.

    Oh, and people who like to indulge themselves in the idea that any country can be bombed into a prosperous democracy need to get their heads checked.

    Hrmpf.. He has some mannors, that Ghadaffi! Robbing the Dutch of their helicopter and all. Not sportsmanship.

    It was no robbery. It was a delivery 😀

    Consider yourself kill filed.

    What is that supposed to mean?

    Such a poor attempt at trolling…. 🙁

    Not really.

    The ‘rescue attempt’ was absolutely pathetic. Where was the cover? Why illegally landing your Lynx on foreign soil to evacuate two mere persons from Sirte, when Sirte airport was still open to anyone with a ticket and a passport?

    It was a useless effort, a pathetic performance and could have been a diplomatic disaster if it wasn’t for the Lybians acting kinder than they had too.

    Stelletje kneuzen.

    Lynx ‘277’ should be preserved as a fitting memorial to Dutch military and diplomatic incompetence. I’m sure a nice pedestal can be erected in a town in the Serb part of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

    The SH-14D Lynx 277 will remain in Lybia, as a nice trophy to commemorate the Dutch’ Navy utter FAIL.

    The only Libyan twin-stick Fitter that was noted so far was yellow 109 in 1996

    Yeah, the one at Baranovichi. But i have my doubts that any of the Lybian aircraft seen around that time in Belarus (that Fitter) and Ukraine (MiG-23s and -25s) ever returned to the country.

    Hi Arthur, I noted that. I had a search but couldn’t find any tie-up from the web. I thought someone might have imaged it at LAVEX?

    TJ

    Don’t think there was a dual Fitter at any of the LAVEX’es, but I can’t seem to find a decent log of any of them.

    It’s interesting that both Mirages which landed at Malta were noted at Lavex 2009.

    This is believed to be the remains of the Su-22. The aircraft that the crew ejected from near Ajdabiya in late February.

    Check out 4:25 in that – it seems like the construction numer! 81905…

    Love the concept. An airframe designed for the bomber mission tasked with an interception role!

    All statistics, historical facts and personal anecdotes are totally meaningless when compared to one banal fact:

    The 104 sounded a lot better than the Crusader 🙂
