Vietnam
Where? Vietnam
When? 08/2013
Vietnam and aviation brings to most peoples minds probably Phantoms fighting against MiGs, B-52 Stratofortresses acting as bombs trucks and napalm and "Agent Orange" over the jungle. However, as Uncle Ho's-led North Vietnam finally defeated the Western-supported South with the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975, the dark history of the Vietnam War from 1956 to 1975 is being presented with a different view in the museums stretching all over the country from Ho Chi Minh City up to Hanoi.

Zhuhai 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.

Taiwan Air Force
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.

Israeli Air Force
Where? Southern Israel
When? October 2012
A large veil of secrecy lies above the Israeli Air Force (IAF – or Heyl Ha'Avir). The air arm is combat proven at an extremly high degree, but due to the sensitivity of their operations only very few information is being spread. Despite these conditions the visit to Nevatim and Hatzerim was very worthwhile.
