Re: Mustang Air to Air: The Sequel


Just Rolled in to town, back home from the trip to Germany.
Did the Tiger Meet a Schleswig Jagel and a trip to Berlin and the Ila show on Sunday.
Weather on Friday was better then forecasted.
The meet was well organised only drawback were the stepladders that were aloud some were a 3 meters high.
And the most of them were at the front of the fence.
Heard that today they had to stay at least 5 meters away but hey when you have enough mm you are king.
Food was excellent cooked by the army I think Beef Goulash.

Hopefully I have some nice shots, after the loss of data at last years Reno races I decided not to bring a backup but ordered some more cards.

They had a nice surprise two MG-60R Sea Hawks flew by a couple of time they came from a Us Navy ship harboured at Kiel Harbour and were flying from nearby Hohn Airbase

Saturday we drove to Berlin and visited the Deutsches Technik museum Berlin.
And walked around the huge city.

Sunday we visited the ILA show also very nice with exhibit halls.
And some displays by civil and military planes.
Nice surprise was the Demo of the F35 flown by the USAF F35 demo team who came over from Hill AFB they also flew some demo's at some of the German defence open days around the country .

Unfortunately no complete demo as the box was to small as the other half of the field remained open for normal operations ( I think everything except the banana pass ).

Also they flew the new Airbus A 321 XLR incredible 2 engines new electronics fuel efficient etc.|
They were able to get 10 or 11 more hours out of it on a full load of fuel.
So it's able to fly from London to Mumbai India non stop.
And it's so quiet it's just ridicules.

Some photo will follow in due time.
