Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Tankertown Ramstein 03-03-2011

Post by Ronaldsnl »

Here a few pics from Ramstein in nice sunny weather and nice aircraft.
On March 2 2 Wisconsin ANG KC135 and a KC10 arrived, they departed in the morning.

This all in around 2 hours time.....

In between a Míldenhall tanker arrived. We expected a Wisconsin but this Mildenhall one is recently added to the Hall's inventory. Image

Also a Gallie arrived:

1 Alabama KC135 was on the platform together with a Mildenhall one, later a Mc Connel KC135 arrived.

This C37 is quite new for Ramstein 76th AS
Image


So March 3 was quite succesfull in the morning, March 1 in the afternoon it wasn't: In 4 hours only 2 C17's arrived and 1 C17 in takeoff, luckily this one departed just after the runwaychange from 09 to 08:

And a local one because of the nice light:

Hope you like them:

Nice pics!

Since when do (some) KC-10's and KC-135 (the Mildenhall one) have pods for air to air refueling?
Never saw that before on USAF tanker aircraft.

I'm currently in England for a spottingtrip. Yesterday I went to Mildenhall. Loads and loads of activity but not one KC-135/KC-10 with the pod...

Nice shots by the way!
