INTERESTING IMPRESSIONS FROM MALBORK AND THE NEED OF DUTCH QRA FLIGHTS |
November
14th, 2014 |
By
the time this very page is built the information came to us that Dutch
F-16's |
had
to intercept once again a Russian 'Bear' which invaded the air-space of
the |
sovereign
Baltic states by this occasion. A violation against NATO members. |
In
the light of the expanding Russian forces in the Ukrain with troops and
heavy |
material
(tanks) the question once again rises why Russia shows this agression. |
|
|
|
Several
movements from Russia to Ukrain such as transport vehicles, troops and
tanks have been perceived |
|
So
Malbork is of importance for the QRA and 'showing flag' for the countries
that feel threatened by the Russian 'shower of power'. |
|
Daily
life goes on, everyone is aware of the importance of it's own individual
task |
|
An
average day, raining this time but still the same routines |
|
This
day some F-16's will be flying against the MIG-29's for training purposes |
|
For
the F-16 pilots this is even better to 'fight' real MIG's in stead of an
F-16 simulating he is one..... |
|
Succes
buddy,make the best fo it ! |
|
A
two-ship formation will go airborne, another example is on stand-by |
|
While
this concerns a training, the F-16's as well as the MIG's are equipped
with training material on the hardpoints |
|
Groundcrews
do their pre-ops checks on the outside |
|
Almost
ready...engine is started |
|
Several
checks inside the cockpit as well... |
|
Also
the groundcrews follow training programs |
|
A
view in the 'Dutch' hangar. Clean, clear, medium space but fairly
acceptable ..... |
|
...
and 'leeuwarden' and 'Volkel' brother to brother together ! |
|
This
brings us almost to the end of page 2 and the next and last impressions on
page 3 |
|
Huh
?? Oh, this bell ? It's 'Volkel's' and it travels
e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e where Volkel goes ! Lt.Cln. Marcel takes a
look at his material. |
