Where? Kyushu, Japan
When? November 2012
Aggressors, Eagles and Phantoms, there is plenty of jet action going on at Nyutabaru, even on a normal flying day. Spending two days on the fence guarantees many motives of jets from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Where? Neuburg, Bavaria, Germany

The end is near! June 26th 2013 will be the "Phantom Pharewell" at Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" and mark the last couple of hours of flying German F-4F Phantoms II. "Retro" schemes on two F-4F Phantom II are a sign of the planned celebrations.

Where? Nyutabaru, Kyushu, Japan
When? 02/12/2012
The annual airshow at Nyutabaru is always a safe bet to see some amazing aerial displays of the JASDF. Three Squadron, either equipped with F-4EJ Phantoms or F-15(D)J Eagles, amongst them the nicely painted Aggressors, assure a stunning and varied display even without any other participants flying in from other airfields.

Where? Taiwan / Republic of China (ROC)
When? November 2012
Once upon a time, the ROCAF (Republic of China Air Force) – aka Taiwanese Air Force – caught my eye: an interesting mix of aircraft types, still some colourful schemes and nice photos were seen floating around the web. The plan to go there was kept in mind and finally realized in connection with a visit to the "Airshow China" in 2012.

Where? Zhuhai, People's Republic of China
When? November 2012
The bi-annual Airshow China at Zhuhai is more or less the only chance to get a view on modern Chinese aviation hardware, and to take some legal photos of it. That was the main reason to go there once again, and this is how it came out in the end.

Where? Ostrava, Czech Republic
When? 22-23/09/2012
What a show! MiG-29 Dogfight, M2000 "Ramex Delta", 2x Su-22 Fitter in formation flight, Eurofighter displays, the Red Arrows... Twelve years after its first edition the NATO Days at Ostrava were a stunning event.

Where? Belgrade, Serbia
When? 02/09/2012
The flight back from the 100th anniversary Air Show of the Serbian AIr Force from Batjanica was with mixed emotions. There were some very rare and unique aircraft and presentations to see, as a 'dogfight' between a MiG-21 and two MiG-29s, or local build and rare types such as the Orao and the Super Galeb.
