Nice vid, always sweet to hear those TF-34s and the burp of the GAU-8! I would guess those are Panther birds, what range was it?

Cheers! M2

Errr...I guess this was Nordhorn Range (in Germany) that you mentioned in the other thread. My bad, sorry!

Cheers! M2

Nice vid indeed. I hope I'll have a live show on friday afternoon.
That is when I can make it, I'm not sure yet.
Angry, perhaps we'll meet.

Magvas.

I should have tried to go over and see them shooting while I was over there. A pity.

My dad had to go TDY to Nordhorn to recover his A-10 from RAF Bentwaters when it was involved in a mid-air collision in 1985.

There was no mid-air collison involving an A-10 in Europe in 1985.

Coach,

I'm not sure if the date was right on that forum.But I know it was in the mid 1980s.And it was in Germany.

There was a mid-air in late 1988 over a town where one the aircraft hit an apartment building, killing many civilians. One of the pilots was also killed.

Coach

I,m not sure.I wasn,t even alive when my folks were at Bentwaters.

Coach

He may have been referring to the mid-air that occured within the 81 TFW between 82-84, I can't remember the exact dates. I also believe there was a mid-air involving a Hog and a Cessna over Norwich where the latter flew into restricted airspace to get a better look at the jets. Sorry I don't have further details, but the gray matter just isn't what it used to be!

Cheers! M2

There was a mid-air between two Hogs in the Wash ATA in Dec 83. One pilot survived and one didn't.

There was also a mid-air between a cessna and a Hog in 84 or 85, the cessna pilot did not survive, the Hog Pilot didn't know it happened, his wingman told him.

Coach

the 83 mid air is the one coach. Thanks sir

Cajun out

Thanks Coach! I believe the Cessna incident must have been 84 as it happened before I left in April of that year. I heard the same thing, that the wingman had to tell lead he was involved in a mid-air. The Cessna driver only had a few hours having just recently solo'd.

Cheers! M2
