We wanted to go to Spangdahlem wat first, but due to the crashed F-16 on tuesday the F-16s were grounded, so we chose to go to Nörvenich instead.
Had a nice day here, with 6 Eurofighters in the morning and 3 in the evening and some nice visitors.
SMASH21-23 flight were the first 3 Eurofighters.

Sadly it was barely visible from any spotting location, so the result wasn't amazing...
