Here are some great photos of American Airlines flight AA292 being escorted by two Italian Eurofighters over Rome on its way to the diversion airport Rome Fiumicino, we received from a friend. #aa292
American Airlines flight AA292 from New York to Delhi is diverting to Rome following a bomb threat. Italian Air Force Eurofighters scrambled to escort the B787 to Rome-Fiumicino airport. Filmed from home with my phone hence quality is not great.
Interesting. [Undisclosed location] a U.S. Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft pilot teaches Arabic to Airmen at the American Red Cross in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Nov. 15, 2024. (U.S. Air Force photo posted on DVIDS).
Despite being retired by the RNLAF on Sept. 27 (theaviationist.com/2024/09/27/r...) some Dutch F-16s have flown from EBCI (home of SABCA) using callsign NAF. These should be the airframes being prepared for delivery to Ukraine.
Based on a video circulated online, China's H-20 stealth bomber made a virtual appearance as CGI at the Zhuhai Air Show. The funny thing is that the secretive bomber appears to be escorted by F-22s and F-35s.. 🤦🏻🤦🏻 #theaviationist
This photo is iconic. On Nov. 10, 1988, Assistant Secretary of Defense J. Daniel Howard displayed a grainy photo at a Pentagon press conference, unveiling for the first time the F-117A, the stealth jet that had been secretly flying for 7 years already. Retired in 2008, still flying today....
So, we've just arrived here and need some time to figure out how everything works and get comfortable with it before we can start interacting properly. In the meanwhile please enjoy some test posts.
