UN? Peace Keeping? Been there, done that   ;D
A couple of photos from http://www.supataulut.net/albumi/unifil/

An Israeli contraption:



I remember the sneaky attack that we mounted on that place - for an exercise...



We got between the perimeter fence and the gabions. Then I sneaked on the guards at the main gate while the other guys headed for the battalion commander's "residence". Great fun, and the HQ company commander changed some layouts afterwards.

Love the pic on the last page of the F-111 dump and burn, only witnessed it once in person, sad to think I'll never see it again. Can the F-35 do it? (on purpose that is)

Little known fact: This technology was derived from the crashed Roswell Saucer. Aliens use it to fuzz the images of their craft, which is why to this day, despite a plethora of excellent cameras, nobody has taken a good picture of a UFO.

Alvis 3.1

Huh. Today I learned something new. I thought the reason was because UFOs only visited are only visible to drunks in trailer parks.

No the F-35 can't since it's fuel dump point is on the wing:



I have discussed running a pipe in towards the exhaust though...

I was only being silly, but running a pipe in towards the exhaust hmmm...

Leave the dump where it is and launch a flare  >:D

Everything was going well until they parked the fuel truck behind the Phantom as it ran up its engines...

On 16th October a Military parade took place in Belgrade, celebrating 70th anniversary of liberation of Serbian and Yugoslav capital in WWII. Probably most impressive were guests from Russia - display team ''Strizhi'' (I posted one of these before, but much smaller).

Also, I would like to recommend to visit a photo-blog of Dimitrije Ostojić, great photographer, specialized in military topics.

Wow! It's always good to see an old bird in the sky again. Especially since this one has been expected for over a decade. This is the only airworthy Blenheim.

All that reminds me that we are maybe to much focused on modern planes. So, here are couple oldies...
