Seen Over Your House Today

Actually, nice detail shot of the underside. Lots of extra lumps and bumps under there.

Is that paint or metal finish?  I ask because if it's paint there's a lot more variation in colour between panels than i'd expect.

I was thinking the same thing. Is that the landing gear door area that looks bare metal?

As far as I can tell it's all paint. I've uploaded some more pics, they might help, especially the last one.

Looks like all paint. Love them old smokers ! Grabbed a 144th scale kit last week.

Thanks Sticky.  In one of your pics the flaps and ailerons all look different shades of grey but then in another they don't so maybe it's all to do with the angle to the light.

The unmistakable shape of a B-52 hauled out of Fairford (presumably......) over me yesterday. I've not seen one of those smokers in these parts for a considerable time. i wonder what he was doing???

[Captain Canada]

Sweet ! Lucky you. I'd like to find where one is flying this summer and take my son to see it.

[PR19_Kit]

I'm rather lucky in that Fairfoird's main runway points almost directly at my house, albeit 30-40 miles away. But a -52 climbs so slowly that it's still at quite a low level by the time it gets here  at least if it's heading west anyway.

Local SAR unit (40th Squadron, Belgian AF) at Koksijde AB recieved a new toy today, the first of 4 NH90-NFH's 
this is in fact the second NFH model delivered, the first one, RN01, was delivered in august last year, but is currently in France for crew conversion training.
this one, RN02, is the first one to arrive at its new base, straight from the factory at Donauwörth, Germany

took this picture earlier today

Going with all gray low vis roundels seems like a terrible idea in that neck of the woods.

Cheers,

About an hour ago an An-74 took off from Prestwick and headed north east towards Stavanger,
CAVOK Air , but I have no idea what the final destination was.
Just did not have the camera to hand at the time, damn! 

First one that I have seen, or HEARD. It sounded strange.

they said the same thing with the earlier delivered TTH models, thats why they now have the high-vis roundels.

next week im going to Leopoldsburg to see a Special Forces demo with the new NH90-TTH

[Captain Canada]

Great shot of the NH.90 Nils ! Hopefully they add some dayglo panels with those coloured roundels....or maybe a three tone camo ?
