More than 1,000 people have been involved in the massive search operation for a light plane hijacked by a party of revellers from an airfield in the Urals last week, emergency officials said on Monday.
No news is “bad news” in this case… ๐
I can’t remember seeing these B757 photos here previously (and we might get some tales about it in the next couple of days)

You got your numbers slightly wrong, it’s an RNZAF “three-holer”… ๐
But that Kiwi Boeing 727 indeed banks VERY sharply that close to the ground… ๐ฎ
The link has been posted before about these parts but in this You Tube Clip โReflections on Operation Black Buckโ you get other personal takes on the Ops from Martin Withers and Andy Marson!
That link is certainly worth clicking on! ๐
Another link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40knj0qg_Us points to a 45-minute dramatised documentary with some more participants beside the above-mentioned.
Viewers in the UK may already have seen it on the telly earlier this year… ๐
According to
http://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl/forums/f2-algemeen-general/vanaf-donderdag-site-tijdelijk-gesloten-21008/
the forum is to be closed temporarily from this Thursday (i.e. tomorrow) onwards.
For those who can understand Dutch and are interested,
http://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl/forums/f2-algemeen-general/over-sluiting-nlv-20974/index2.html and onwards has some more background information.
If the bookprice is right (ยฃ644) its way out of my price range.:eek:
That was indeed the purpose of this pricing it seems… :diablo:
Yes, really:

Apprently it is only in draft form at the moment and he is calling for ideas and the price is so nobody will place an order for the “draft book”.
Last time I had a look in AMI people wher trying to tell him to do something like the Mason and Mottram Mirage book.
guys here is a link to the book idea im making with my mate
its only in its very early stage etc and ive set the price at crazy so no one buys it etc.
so what we are after is feed back….good and bad
i hope some people will like the effort and if so i will link another for another book……..
I am wondering whether someone actually STILL DID place an order for that
“deliberately crazy set” price… :diablo:
Will be an interesting book once the “realistic price” has been set… ๐
But of course any decent photobook can never be sold cheaply if proper paper has been used… ๐ฎ
How about this one….

That’s a lot of drag to overcome… ๐ฎ
Ouch, this hurts… ๐
Even though this clip is already a year old now…

This Greek Phantom is also well-known, but worth repeating. Not on full screen though… :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcBKIaU0qok shows two Dutch Navy Lockheed P-2V Neptunes flying over/alongside ships.
It gets rather low (but not as low as that Greek Phantom) from about 0.37. ๐
These American Reconnaissance RF-4 Phantom clips are well-known, but certainly worth repeating here!
