This one #150 is at Lahore, Fazaia Housing Scheme phase 2. See also: http://www.aviagraphers.net/images/Pak%20ac%20monuments-20.jpg Found two F-7P preserved that were not known to me before. The first is 89-536 in Wah Cantt. It is between the Ordnance Club and the Post Graduate College for...

No, it is just the Myanmar registration system. The new Yak-130 are 1801, 1802 et cetera The F-7 are 1601, 1602 et cetera The MiG-29 are 2701, 2702 et cetera The K-8 are 3901, 3902 et cetera So, the first two digits are unique to the type but have no further significance nor relation to subtype...

A-5 at Spinkai cadet College. Identity unknown, it has been here for about a year I think?

251? So this is a new batch of Block II, thought 250 would be the highest?

The fourteen are, as far as I know: 17-001 to 17-004 18-005 to 18-014 Twelve of these have been delivered. Last delivery took place on 19 November. Two need to be delivered of this batch (I think 18-012 and 18-014), I expect them soon.

These are the Mi-8/17 mishaps that I have in my list: ... Mi-8 09dec71 w/o 0424 Mi-8 22jan77 w/o 24518 Mi-8 02dec83 w/o ... Mi-172 jun97 w/o 58611 Mi-17-VM 10jun99 w/o 58614 Mi-171 24apr03 w/o ... Mi-17 29jun04 w/o...

Update: AH-1Z 786-072 seen at Amarillo, Texas with Boeing helicopters late September. So, that is #012 meaning all twelve are likely manufactured and could be handed over. Mind you, that does not mean that they are delivered or will be soon, just that they physically exist!

So to summarize, * block II production is finished * JF-17B are being tested at PAC * Nigerian deal: nothing heard or seen yet * JF-17 block III production to be prepared to be started mid-2019 at the earliest, 2020 more likely So after the production run and frequent deliveries of the last...

Highest noted so far were #007 and #008 a couple of months ago. This shot was likely taken in the USA, probably in the vicinity of NAS Patuxent River. After being test flown, inspected and handed over, they have been stored there and at 309th AMARG, Tucson, Arizona. The contract for storage runs...

Indeed, a puzzle. By the way, the L-39s still had these markings December 2017. Also, the L-39 in the article has a 25sq badge too. If they operate along the K-8, then why not apply a proper 15sq emblem?

But why do L-39 have 25sq Trendsetter markings then? See: https://www.baf.mil.bd/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/L-39-1.png

09-111 was marked FC10011 Does this mean it is from the pre production series too? I always thought that only 8 SBP were FC1 0001 to FC1 0008 and then FC1 0101 onward for Block I? With 09-112 being FC1 0104, you would expect 09-111 to be FC1 0103... Or is this a painter's mistake :undecided:

First I want to see a Z-9 or Z-15 survive fourty years of service. The Z-9 are based on the Dauphin, not designed for maritime operations. If you do not take them apart often for inspection, corrosion will be a big problem. Also, try to fly a Z-9 into high winds on a rescue mission or use the...

Sure, forgot the first time, thanks for the reminder! The message that they were delivered comes from the Italian enthusiast that tries to keep track of all AW helicopters: http://www.aaa.dgualdo.it/prodlist/prod-aw139-04.htm > scroll down to 31815/31816/31817/31820 Normally that means they...

Four(!) more AW139 delivered 14 August. Same greyish-metallic colour scheme. As seen during testflights in Italy:

Seen test flying in Italy, the next AW139 #811:

The other way around is happening now. The Netherlands has published a negative travel advice to Pakistan. So this will limit business travel and opportunities as well. It will harm the Pakistani economy more than the Dutch. All because of an attention-seeking Dutch politician and a handful of...

Some small remarks: * Mr. Wilders is not the Dutch government, he is a provocative member of parliament, heading one of the opposition parties * In The Netherlands around 5% of the population is muslim * Unilever is a joint Anglo-Dutch company * In this issue, there are only losers alas...

Update: two of the AH-1Z are currently at 309th AMARG storage, Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona, USA. Not from the first batch of three, but later ones...
