i still have that old falcon with huge manual and military maps from the early nineties , i think falcon 3 ? i had to study that book for weeks lol , just to know how to start it .

why such an “old” plane as F15 , even if its an upgraded one .

now the oil flows again and of course the money goes indirectly to the usa to buy all those weapons , they dont need it , there are way more important things then new airforce at this moment

i didnt read the whole thing , but you are right in that , even i got crappy french 🙂 . but i liked the part where you could listen how for example duvel is pronounced in dutch 🙂

my dad was once in berlin ( he is in the military) to a meeting there , and talked to some ex east german officers who were in the united german army now . They also said in a conventional war , the west didnt stand a good chance , just look at the massive amount of tanks . their tanks were feuled and filled with amunition and the engines were running at night ready to go , while i remember when we lived in west germany , soldiers most of the time went home on friday evening and had a good weekend .

of course we never know for sure cause it never happend , but there wasnt alot more of technology in the west then in the east . As in WW2 when germany had the better trained soldiers and better tanks , the soviets and americans outnumbered them big time , would have happend in a third world war also ….

i dont know that one , but there is a contest if you can drink 10 of them within the hour you win the jackpot , from radio donna or something , but thats impossible for for everyone .

really cool pics , its my first day on the forum , really glad i found ppl with simular interests 🙂 .

Military Aviation was always a hobby of mine . I was born in Germany and grew up there cause my father was stationed there with the Belgian army . When i went back to belgium after the cold war ended , i was interested in WW2 and cold war history cause of that , and of course there was alot of history in East germany . a few years ago i bought myself D-Sat where you could see the whole of germany on russian sattelite pictures . I spend weeks , looking at every part of germany on those pics finding airbases , but back then there was hardly any info about it on the internet , and still there is only one good site about the former NVA airforce and the soviet airforce in east germany , sadly enough with few pics . While other friends plan their vacation in spain , i always wanna go on vacation to east germany and visit all those old bases and see the planes .

Just a lil introduction of me 🙂 , if you like you can upload all the pics you have , i really love them , and maybe you could tell what bases you been to , and if its possible to visit all those bases .

Also , soviet airbases are known for their ruff airfields , since MIG 23s had special suspensions , they had no problem with it , but templin was the only one with a clean flat NATO like runway , can you confirm this and what could be the reason ? also there was the rumour that the runway had heater underneath the runway , but that it broken down allready before they left .

About D Sat , if someone could post a quick list of all former soviet , nva , luftwaffe , RAF , usaf airfields in germany ( i lost all the stuff i looked up about it a few years ago 🙁 ) i could make a site with all the sat pics .

lets hope this summer i can check ti out myself 🙂
