A trip report from Tikaboo 7-Apr-2003, airport movements at Groom Lake plus MiG-29, Su-27 video footage and other tales spawned by the above....and random items of interest.....
The Mi-17 story now in the press http://www.shephard.co.uk/news/rotorhub-com/veil-lifted-on-afghan-pilot-training-programme/5760/ and a couple from yesterday at Boscombe Down
At Boscombe Down on Mon 1-Feb-10 was this Algerian Merlin. It reportedly arrived by road - not sure why - from Yeovil and was towed across runway 23/05 to the compass swing area. In the background is ZB697 Mi-17 which flew circuits all day.
Some photos in Nov-09 (thanks Phil!) taken from 1. Queen City Summit of - one assumes - one of the Groom Lake MiG-29s and at Tonopah Test Range, RAT55, NT-43A 73-1155
