    F-84F

    Nice to see a thread on this wonderful machine. It seems to be often neglected or ignored but was a good machine and served many countries well.

    Bhutan is now my “holy grail” as well

    If anybody finds a picture of any aircraft from their armed forces, please post it here asap!

    Don’t hold you breath! Have you been there? I have and threre is nothing indicative of military in any part of the country!

    Thanks Pagen01 and Mark V. There are not so many places where you can still see types such as the Balliols, Tiger Moth, Chippies, Doves and Herons, HS748s, Jet Provosts, together with a range of russian/chinese types too! You have the added bonus of having it next to te active ramp and so you an see the AN-32s etc in operation!

    For anyone interested and in the area it is really worth a visit.

    Taken May 2010. A nice museum, incidentally, devoid pretty much of the usual US dross. It is entry by invitation only but that was easy!

    Cabbage, are they still on your photobucket account? If you deleted from there that explains things!

    Rwanda

    Thanks Alex. I was just trying to try up what i saw at Kigali a couple of years back – a few Hinds and Hips, includig one in the dark green/cream colours that you’ve shown. There was also a Noratlas but not that one – T-01 if i remember correctly. There was also an AN-32 derelict with a 9XR- reg.

    And how many of you knew that there were still F-100s flying? I didn’t know if any were flying until I saw this photo

    There really are idle rich out there enjoying themselves with our money! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Sled and I’m glad some one is keeping at least one flying! RR
