Philip Stevens reports - Target Aviation Photography : Russian Fighters over Nevada from Skycontrol by alain
Nellis Air Force Base (AFB) in Nevada is the home of the US Air Force Warfare Centre (USAFWC), tasked with training pilots to become the best combat aviators in the world. The USAFWC has at its disposal every aircraft in the air force's inventory with the huge Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) just to the north of the airfield. Divided now into two zones, north and south, the NAFR is the largest US range covering some 4,700 square miles. A larger area of 14,800 square miles, which is half the size of Scotland, is available for military flying operations. The NAFR contains dummy airfields, unprepared runways, Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites, Surface to Surface Missiles (SSM), Anti-aircraft artillery and bunkers, in fact everything you would expect in a war zone. The training is conducted with air and ground units of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Many allied nations are also able to train at Nellis, it is vital that the Allied coalition forces as seen during both Gulf Wars, are able to fly and fight together as one seamless unit. Four or more times a year, Red Flag exercises, involving around 1,200 aircraft flying over 20,000 sorties, are run by the 414th Combat Training Squadron (CTS), 57th Operations Group (OG) of the 57th Wing (WG). The ten day exercises are designed to enable US and Allied forces to fight together in the most realistic way possible. For Red Flag 08-4 in August, the fourth exercise of the fiscal year, the French (FAF), Indian (IAF) and Republic of Korea (RoKAF) air forces were invited to fly with and against US forces based in the US, UK and Japan. The IAF with eight Sukhoi Su-30MKI's and the RoKAF, with six Boeing F-15K Slam Eagle's, were attending Red Flag for the first time.

Yorkshire Air Museum Wins Top Award for Second Year Running from Skycontrol by alain
Yorkshire Air Museum is proud to announce that it has won the prestigious Yorkshire in Bloom Silver Gilt Award for the second year running. The Museum's Memorial Gardens and the 20 acre parkland site at Elvington met the high standards in areas such as "Floral Displays; Permanent Landscaping; Environmental Factors and Public Awareness". Of particular interest to the judges was the Museum's recent recycling project which has been supported by DEFRA. Waste from the restaurant and gardens is recycled in a huge stainless steel Swedish machine called "Big Hannah". The resulting high quality fertilizer is then put back onto the gardens resulting in high quality floral displays.

Apple Pick'en and the Airshow from Technorati
(click image to enlarge) Ok, I'm exhausted. We started out the day by heading to Eckert's Orchard for a little apple pick'en. We ended up picking about 5 pounds of apples (not including the "samples" that we snacked on during our harvest). Even Colin got in on the festivities. After hitting their petting farm, we drove over the Scott Air Force Base to take in the last day of the Airshow. I ate my share of carnie food and got to watch the Air Force's Thunderbirds perform their maneuvers. ...
The Thrill of Flight from Technorati
This past weekend was very busy for us. Prairie Day was great enough on Saturday, but on Sunday, we also got to go to an air show at the local Air Force base. We went to the same show last year, and we've also been to a few other air shows in the past, but I think this was the best one yet. Why? One word–Thunderbirds! I'm fairly certain I've never seem a Thunderbirds show before. I think that's the kind of thing you remember. I had a general idea of what to expect, but there's just ...

Air Show! from Technorati
So I went to the airshow at Martinsburg, WV today. It was a blue, cloudless sky, with no wind--just perfect flying weather. (Note: I never get flying weather this nice when I go up. What's up with that?) The first--and biggest--aircraft that everyone who came saw was one of the C-5 Galaxy transports operated by the local Air National Guard unit It was open for walk-thrus, and roomy enough that you could almost play football inside. There were Biplanes, ranging from a nifty little Pitts ...
