Isn't it Over-G? (lol). It is only for consoles IIRC. And it is not sim :P

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

Last Friday, LigerZero and I paid a visit to the NATO Tiger Meet Spotters Day at Kleine Brogel Airbase in Belgium.

 

We arrived at the gate of the airbase at 6:30, just in time to beat the expected traffic jam and queue to get in.

When the gate opened around 8:00, we were among the first to get in.

Compared to the last spotters day, getting an entrance ticket was a breeze, with six waiting lines, three of which were for people who bought their tickets in pre-sale.

 

Once on-base, we had to walk quite a distance to get to the public area, past some maintenance hangars and sports facilities.

We decided to go to Public Area 2, situated between the two runways.

This way, we could photograph both the active runway (05L), turn around and see the taxiing aircraft on the parallel runway behind us.

 

Here is a small selection of the 700+ pictures I made during the day.

Enjoy!

NEW DELHI - The Indian Navy has launched the second of its three stealthy Project-15-A, or Kolkata-class, destroyers. The INS Kochi, launched Sept. 18, is expected to be delivered in May 2011 for induction into active service.

Built by Mazagon Dock, the state-owned shipyard, the Project-15-A destroyers will be fitted with the supersonic BrahMos cruise missile and long-range surface-to-air missiles.

Burt Rutan ARES is one of those concept aircraft that look amazing. To bad it never entered serviced.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

That is if they are going against Su-35. The ground crews push that button, and it activates a system that jettisons wheels after take-off, instead of retracting them (since they won't be needed any more) :)

Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann hand over first serially produced Boxer vehicle

 

Official transfer of the first serially manufactured transport vehicle takes place in the presence of German and Dutch defence ministers

The armed forces of Germany and the Netherlands take delivery today of an optimally protected, highly mobile transport vehicle with massive useful load carrying capacity.

At a ceremony in Munich, Rheinmetall Defence and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) transferred the first serially produced Boxer to the Organisation conjointe de coopération en matière d'armement (OCCAR), which is administering the Boxer project, and Germany's Federal Agency for Defence Technology and Procurement (BWB).

 

The Boxer armoured transport vehicle is a pioneering, highly mobile 8x8 wheeled vehicle. Thanks to its modular design, it can be quickly modified for a wide variety of missions, going from a medivac role, for instance, to a command and control configuration. To do this, all that is necessary is to exchange the mission modules on the vehicle chassis. When configured as a section (squad) transport vehicle, the Boxer can carry up to ten men, who benefit from excellent protection against landmines and ballistic threats: the fully armoured fighting compartment assures maximum crew survivability. Superb mobility, excellent self-defence weaponry and a heavy payload are further key features of this versatile, highly flexible transport vehicle.
