RNLAF efforts
The RNLAF sent a KDC-10 with reliefgoods and a 60 person USAR team (Urban Search and Rescue). It consists of firefighters, police, medical specialists and 8 rescue dogs.
I believe its the first of three planned flights.
Would you be kind enough to tell me how you came upon the UDAF MiG-21bis photograph…do you know who took the picture? I’m hoping to publish it in my book.
Or perhaps the same Vano guy of these photo’s : http://russianplanes.net/EN/AL/Uganda_-_Air_Forces
Great recent MiG-25 and Su-24 pics
BulAF Mi-17 403
ZB697 Mi-17 Mk.1V 103M02 Ex BulAF 402
ZB698 Mi-17 Mk.1V 103M03 Ex BulAF 403The more observant anoraks amongst you will no doubt have noted that these allocated serials compromise actually serials carried by a couple of Chukar D2 target drones written off in April 1981…
Here a picture of the BulAF Mi-17 403 in better days (during NATO/PfP exercise Co-operative Key 2001 in Bulgaria).
The biggest problem seems to be that AIRtime is currently more or less a one-man-show directed by Mel Williams and he seems to keep some older or traditional ways in managing this business … payment for the authors is such an issue for example ! 😡
The comments of IAPR nowadays practically being a one-man-show is rather worrying… Hope IAPR will continue to be published.
Wasn’t it a “one man show” already for a long time…… even in the days the show was run by Dave Donald?? 🙁
In that way not to much has changed but now nevertheless “they” are aiming at 5 issues this year which seems to be an improvement. 😉
Changes at Mari North Turkmenistan
Interestingly they moved the stored Su-17s from the south dispersals to cental flightline on base leaving the south disperals for Su-25 operations.
IAPR 25
Any information about the content for Vol. 25 ???
Cheers, Deino
Why the interest in the next issue if you do not even have seen the current one?? :confused: But o.k. here it is. 😀
A safisfied IAPR subsciber !!!!!!!!!!
Today I recieved issue 24. As always, fast and on time. As said before I do NOT at all agree with some subscribers complaining :confused:. It must be their National post service :o………. anyway here is the content 😉
Great news ………… Alan Warnes was in Pakistan in April and got some great access. He is currently writing a 200 page book on the PAF concentrating on the last 10 years – out in Dec……..Can’t wait!!!:D
I can wait. His writing is o.k. but his pictures are crap…. 😀
As clearly can be seen from what I’ve turned up today from the following URL.
The ETAF seems to be retaining a cluster of non-flyable birds grounded up until now in a revetment at Dire Dawa AB, some are positively recognizable as MiG-15UTI Midget Trainer amongst all the aircrafts they had scraped together.
At a glance, All of which appears to be kept almost intact after years of service life, affording it a likely chance of going into training anew as needs arise.
