This 2006 built airframe has first been registered as P4-VSV in Aruba before being bought by Prominterservice Airlines LLC in November of 2020. First reported registration in the Ukraine was UR-AMST but it is not clear if it ever operated as such. Seen here during a technical flight after receiving maintenance by Motorflug.

About to touch down for an official two day state visit with President Masisi on board, and after an almost 10 hour long direct flight from Gabarone. This 2009 built Global Express is the 3rd Botswana Government aircraft to carry serial OK1, after a BAe HS-125 (till 1992) and a Gulfstream IV (from 1992 till 2009). Both previous aircraft have first been re-serialled to OK2 when replaced with its newer and bigger successor, and then sold later.

With only 110 units built, the Xian MA-60 was developped from the Y7-200A, itself based on the Antonov 26. The MA-60 faced many technical issues, mainly with the landing gear, with at least 14 reported incidents. Indonesian domestic airline Merpati was the biggest civilian operator of the type outside of China, with 13 units delivered in total. PK-MZP pictured here was the last delivered, while sistership PK-MZK crashed in Kaimana (West Papua) on May 7, 2011, accounting for the first fatal MA60 accident, with all 25 souls on board killed unfortunately.

Indonesia started to receive an initial batch of four Block 15 F-16B's (serialled TS-1601 through TS-1604) and eight F-16A's (TS-1605 through TS-1612) under the Peace Bima-Sena FMS program in late 1989. TS-1603 shown here carried US FY # 87-0723 and was written off after a landing accident in Thailand on March 14, 2017. The writing on the LH underwing auxiliary fuel tank translates to "the unitary Republic of Indonesia is undisputed". As from 2017, the remaining F-16A/B's have undergone a mid-life update and at the same time received a new two-tone grey camo.

Between September 2000 and August 2001, the Royal Thai AF took delivery of 25 former German AF Alpha Jets, of which 20 were put into service with Squadron 231 based at Udon Thani, while the remaining 5 airframes served as spares. The airframe pictured here is former German AF 41+49 (98+49), wearing a grey two-tone camo applied to the Thai Alpha Jet fleet as from 2011. The Bangkok Post in 2019 reported that Thai Aerospace was to upgrade 14 of the RTAF's Alpha Jet with a modern glass cockpit including HUD's and HOTAS.

The L.A. County Fire Department started to use Bell 412's in early 1990. Seven Bell 412 airframes have been introduced over the years, with two Bell 412HP and three Bell 412EP remaining in service when this picture was taken. N14LA is a 2005 built airframe returning to its homebase for maintenance here, after having spent the previous 24 hours on stand-by on a forward operating base.

In a surprise move in early 2023, Heliswiss International bought this 1963 (!) built KV-107 from Columbia Helicopters. Till 1976, this airframe has been operated by the Royal Thai Army, serialled "4003". The small HSI fleet of only three helicopters now consits of three different types. The sanctions on Russia due to the Ukraine conflict makes it hard for HSI to operate the Kamov KA-32 HB-XKA, while the sole AS-332 HB-XVY is quite expensive to operate. Thus, HSI took a rather unconventional decision and obtained this KV107, the first civilian of it's kind to be operated in Europe.

Simplon Air was founded in 2007 by italian helicopter pioneer Gian Paolo Giana. As early as 1972, at the age of 25, Giana started to operate helicopters in the mountains around the Ossola valley and named the emerging company "Giana Helicopter". Having swiss roots and being an admirer of swiss rescue pioneer Hermann Geiger, Giana seems to feel more swiss than italian, as the family owned company operates it's helicopters under the swiss register. The flagship of the fleet is this 1995 built MD900 which was previously operated by Breitling and joined Simplon Air in June of 2018.

This 2015 built EC145 has first been delivered to INEAR Italy, which later became Babcock Italy. As of March 1, 2023, Babcock Italy was bought by the Avincis Group and thus rebranded once again. Caiolo became an EC145 base in early 2021 after Elilombarda's AW139 lost the HEMS contract to Babcock. Operated on behalf of AREU, the regional emergency agency for the Region of Lombardia set up in 2007. AREU maintains five EMS helicopter bases: Caiolo/Sondrio, Brescia, Bergamo, Como and Milan.

Built as a C-12A and originally serialled 76-0167, this airframe has an interesting history, as in 1979 it was expelled by South Africa, after being accused for performing intelligence gathering. Reserialled to 76-3239 in due course and later converted to C-12C standard. Reported to have been assigned to the US Embassies in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Jakarta (Indonesia), Bangkok (Thailand) and since December 2018 based in Ankara, Turkey. From there it paid a short visit to exercise Anatolian Eagle 2023.

3076 is one of 55 F-16E single-seater "Desert Falcons" in service with the UAEAF since 2004. Built in 2006, this airframe previously carried US FY number 00-6051 and is reported to be assigned to Shaheen / Squadron 2 based at Al Dhafra AB. Note the rather massive Raytheon AGM-88C HARM missile under the wing. HARM stands for High-Speed-Anti-Radiation-Missile and it's purpose is to cause harm to radar installations. However, in this picture, the 4 meter long missile does not carry any explosives, as can be seen by the blue ring on the missile. The UAE has about 160 AGM-88 in its inventory.

This 2001 built AS-350B2 was previously operated in the HEMS role by Air Methods, before joining Mercy Air Helicopter in 2014. Usually based in Whiteriver, South Africa, it has been deployed to Malawi for three weeks in March / April 2023. It is seen here in front of the Mulanje mountain region during relief work after cyclone "Freddy" severely hit the area, killing some 1000 people in Malawi alone. The cyclone caused flooding, landslides and destroyed many houses. The Malawi Government officially named the relief efforts "Operation Tigwirane Manja 2023" ("joining hands").

Built 2015, test registration N273MM. Two of RACQ LifeFlight's five AW139 are under contract with a consortium of gas companies (Arrow Energy, Origin Energy, Queensland Gas Company and Santos) for the Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS), hence the various stickers all over this aicraft. The one pictured here is based in Toowoomba operating as RSCU588, the other one is stationed in Roma. As such, the two helicopters are on stand-by 24/7 for the oil companies, and are usually not available for the general public.
