The pilot looks like he has a hooooge arm FFS! - I reiterate it was a genuine question! And he's not even looking....

 

Anyway - now Flanker reliably informs me he is giving the finger at a camera on an anniversary of a WW2 victory where countless people no doubt died. :music_whistling:

Anyone know more about this "issue"

 

UN rights expert voices concern over use of unmanned drones by United States

This has been a big topic on the news all day here

Icelandic volcano closes all UK airspace to traffic, i tell ya, it's been wierd not seeing or hearing jets all day, especially where i live :noexpression:

[Pilotasso]

I think its too zealous to close the airspace of entire northern europe because it takes a considerable amount of ash density to affect planes. The craze has arrived this far south with many flights canceled and media frenzy over 2012 :D

[sniffer]

From 0800Z Poland airspace will be closed too...

[Mustang]

Some great pictures of that volcano (slightly off topic i know, sorry)

In Europe now it looks like this:

Finnish Air Force F-18's did training flights on thursday morning when the airspace wasn't yet restricted and here are some boroscope pictures from the engines. All used engines will be removed and sent out for a thorough inspection. It was pretty quiet today at the airport and I didn't mind the peace at all. Poor airlines though.

 

Combustion chamber. The bright white areas are layers of dust.

 

The leading edge of a high pressure turbine blade. The glassy droplets are possibly quartz from the ash that has melted.

What are those civil men and women doing under that plane? :doh: Or maybe they are going to be shooting some new "nozzle", "intake", "gear" Kamasutra positions?

[mvsgas]

Normally people do that during airshows seeking shade

First IAF evaluation flight in Mig-25 at Krasnodar 1979 (Maybe now ED can include India in the countries list:smilewink:)

AIR MARSHAL PHILIP RAJKUMAR (RETD) : " 'Our Soviet hosts were amused when we refused all alcoholic beverages before the evaluation flights. They said the only pilots who did not drink alcohol in the Soviet Air Force were 'auto-pilots' "

Any specific reason the A-10's gray is so lighter compared to the F-15 and F-16?

[mvsgas]

You mean in the game or RL?

[Vekkinho]

They fly NOE more often so they pick up all the dust!

 

I believe it's light ghost gray with A-10 and Dark gull gray with F-15C (IIRC from my scale modeling days)!
