Time for a few more of mine. Mostly from my last tour in Afghanistan 2007/2008. Hope you like them.

What I think is the best pic I took during the whole tour. An RAF Chinook, carrying a British Army Lynx, Escorted by a British Army WAH-64 with the Kandahar Flight line in the background and airfield in the foreground. It's a bit blurry due to the low light but I think that add to atmosphere.

And to finish off, an example of the view out of my bedroom window :D

Indian President Pratibha Patil has flown in a fighter jet, becoming the country's first woman to fly in a combat plane.

 

Mrs Patil, 74, described her 30-minute flight in a two-seater Sukhoi jet as "a wonderful and unique experience".

Looks like an established tradition for 74-year-old Indian Presidents.

Countryside news :)

 

In 25th Nov. 2009, Hungarian Air Force has retired its only jet trainer aircraft type, the L-39ZO Albatros after 15 years of service, with a total of 13000 flight hours.

Sadly, no replacement occured yet, the Air Force hired flight hours in an L-159 of the Czech Aero Vodochody - maybe later plans for buying L-159 two-seaters.

MiGs and Gripens patroling the skies now, as the only remained JETs.

 

Good bye, 'Alba'! Hope we see you in new coats, having much-much fun maybe in some civilian aerobatic teams :)
