'Soviet' and other metal around ETAD 17,18,19-07-2022

Post by evil_bird »

moin y´all

Just saw 2x Mi-24 hinds coming from direction Spangdahlem, seems to be HuAF 331 & 332, anyone know if the stopped at spang or just crossed?

Looked like they were heading direction Ramstein.

Earlier this morning also Chech AF Mi-24 3371 and Mi-8 9813 "buzzed" my balcony on their way home from RIAT but from Luxembourg direction.

With all that soviet style heavy metal flying around here today i almost thought i woke up in Ukraine :|

From Irrel, noted the helo's this morning 0900 to SP. Mi24's passed 15 min ago NE of Irrel..... not sure whether they actually stopped this morning but it sure looked like approach-track to rwy05.
Any idea for other times/movements recent days?
