I wasn't able to travel to Leeuwarden, but luckily there was an exercise closer to my home, the EART at Eindhoven. Dispite the fact that the Italian KC767A left home last week and the German A310 MRTT flew from her homebase, I was still happy with my first C135FR and some decent shots of the Dutch KDC10! And as a bonus, a C17 from the SAC.

Unfortunately, the tower changed runways just before the landing of the two tankers. So no decent landing shots from P4, but while the tankers were prepared for the next mission, the C17 landed for an cargo flight to Mali.

Entering the platform didn't went as it should be. On the radio it sounded approximately like this:
EHEH Ground: "BRK69 enter the apron, report marshaller in sight."
BRK69: "Marshaller in sight, but there is a K(D)C10 in front of us..."

Despite the craftmanship op the pilot to taxi the plane as far left as he could, the KDC10 needed to be pushed back a couple of meters.

6) It was cloudy, but that wasn't always a problem.

7) The switched runways resulted in good take-off opportunities. A pity that the sun disappeared behind the clouds...
