Combat Warplanes / icelandic ash cloud - hysteria or truth?
« on: April 19, 2010, 02:48:10 AM »
Does this volcanic ash cloud over Europe have any effect on military aviation? I would guess this is all a bit overrated. As long as you do not fly very close to the source no problem?

Four Birds from the NATO base in Geilenkirchen near Aachen will be ordered to Afghanistan to control supply traffic and air security.
From the 250 crew members about 100 will be germans. More security for our Tornados as well....
This Mission will cost about 100 Mio Euro (Germany pays about 16% of that)

« on: May 22, 2009, 07:38:56 PM »
I was informed today that Jack D. Hunter, author of the famous Blue Max novel which resulted in 2 sequels and one of my favourite movies: The Blue Max starring George Peppard and Ursula Andress, passed away on 13 April 2009, at the age of 87 at his home in St.Augustine Florida. He had just recently published his latest book "The Ace".

Other titles from his Bruno Stachel Trilogy are:
The Blood Order & The Tin Cravat

R.I.P. Jack

Combat Warplanes / Itavia Flight 870
« on: December 06, 2008, 10:47:19 PM »
On 27 June 1980 Itavia Flight 870 (a DC-9) on the way from Bologna to Palermo was lost by an air-to-air missle attack.

I would be interested what our italian and french forum members think of this incident.
Was it an accident or a dogfight between Libyan and italian french or american jets?
