BIG QUESTIONS, especially now that the battlefield is closer to us then before!
Imma sure RAF , ma jmorrux jghamlulekk xi libell???? Qiesa xi U-turn ohra din ...

Allied sorties till 5th May, look what has been flying over our heads ... not a joke eh!!!
Another aircraftcarrier loaded with helos is moving in, this time French - Le Tonnerre

was at the airport at that time, saw it taxiing along the runway and take off..... the sound roared even though I was inside the viewing gallery!!

And this is the coolest technical upgrade I came across from Libya FF!!!!!

What an upgrade ... BMP1 turret mated with a Landcruiser!

Nothing to do with Libya, but nobody can escape or evade capture for ever, their time will come.

Great photoreportage about the Battle for Libya, some images are very graphic but then again it shows the reality that is happening some miles away from us ...

These landed last Saturday. Again declaring low on fuel. Yesterday landed another pair of Mirage 2000. Photos on the way.....

This French Airforce Super Etendard requested an emergency landing at around 2:00 am. It seems that he encountered a problem when trying to fire a missile. A group of engineers arrived with a caracel helicopter in the afternoon and they attached the same missile with another pylon.

Well done Antoine, very nice pictures!! The french are truly making up for the times they missed the airshow! I am starting to love french aircraft

Ivan, as far as I know, the only and sole U-2 operator is the USAF and they were depolyed for recon of libya. Maybe there was a misunderstanding, can you post the link please. There are plans to retire the U-2 in a couple of years, but uptill now it soldiers on, 50+ years on the line!!

F-16 Photos on the way guys.......................

BTW guys I can confirm that the Etendard we had yestarday requested an emergency landing after he tried to fire a missile and something went wrong. He tried to land on the charles de gaulle and they told him that it was dangerous to land on the carrier with a faulty missile. So what was the result !!!!! Landng in Malta..................................

I was hit by back luck. Totally missed the mirage 2000, super etendard & f16s

Here are the Falcons

Kos hux kieku jghamlu GC fir-roundel konna nahsbuhom tal-AFM u dawk il-qanshi fuq Times Blog jiqfu jeqirdu!!!!

Yesterday RAF deployed Apaches for the first time, we should expect the French to follow soon ... Le Tonnere has arrived aswell!

Ivan

The aftermath of NATO attacks, from the looks most aircraft were already wrecks or spareparts, bleeched in the sun!!!!! Nice weathering eh!

Are those MIG23s or SUs?
