It barely missed the buildings at the left. Still there were survivors and even worse tragedy was avoided.

It seems that France will finaly get a customer to sell the Rafale: Egypt is about to sign the contract for 24 jets , plus a fregat FREMM and MBA missiles

 

The Indians already got a massive order for 124 aircraft. :)

 

Good choice by Egypt considering the current political circumstances.

They've got nothing yet. No contract as for now.

So instead of shooting down a satellite like before,they decided to launch it

Those A-10 that were heading to Spangdahlem, one didn't make it...

Landed at Schiphol Airport..

 

edit;

His wingman also landed.

 

Yes jumping operations at our airfield where limited to 3000ft.

awesome to know that 2 A-10's are in the Netherlands. Didn't see them.

I hope they can fly again soon.

I have been told a repair crew has been sent. It seemed to have some hydraulic problems..

 

First time A-10's are at Schiphol?

 

Lovely photo:

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.
