Mainstay Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Good event. 4 nice landings :thumbup: Quite windy and a lot of birds :) Yeah crosswinds and the weather was pretty poor today for this period of the year. Norwegian press was also present since you have ordered a few yourselfs aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I believe the pilots also had a great flight. The F-35 is very comfortable I've heard. They did lift out quite a bit of gear from the cockpit after landing :music_whistling: EDIT: Also glad to see the important relationship between Nederland and Norway continues after the F-16 area :thumbup: https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2016/05/23/f-35%E2%80%99s-in-nederland Edited May 23, 2016 by HiJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Falcon Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Now, what I am curious about is at what distance the Dutch LCF frigate picked up the F-35 on its radar.:music_whistling: One of these i mean; [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLKMT Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Probably from quite far away considering they had radar reflectors mounted: ■ L-39C/ZA Czech cockpit mod ■ My DCS skins ■ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 [...] EDIT: Also glad to see the important relationship between Nederland and Norway continues after the F-16 area :thumbup: https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2016/05/23/f-35%E2%80%99s-in-nederland Not just Norway, but probably also Denmark and eventually Belgium as well. The northern europe F-16 fighter club now turns into an F-35 club. :D It's nice, because it offers these smaller countries some more possibilities regarding training/deployments through cooperation. :thumbup: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

The air force of our countries have always played a strategic role in NATO ... Unfortunately, the price of one f-35 would get our budget deficit fixed for this year. ... And playing dcs makes us learn that in a real combat situation these expensive planes won't make the difference...

Pilotasso Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Our experience as virtual pilots will hardly translate realistically to what the real world pilots would do. We do not fear death by slaloming missiles for starters. :D The F-35 explores the options of having longer range and less support needed.
