For the not so big music fans... the military airport near Kaiserslautern is named Ramstein. :wink:

4 (Spanish AF?) fighters trailing at high altitude over Saarbrücken City Centre on 28-Mar-2022

Post by FvH »

On 28-Apr-2022 (at around 10:14 Z), I noted 4 jet fighters in a V-formation at high altitude over the city centre of Saarbrücken. They were flying in a roughly North-Easterly direction. The exact types are difficult to identify from the pictures, but may have been F-18.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/15b6b8R ... sp=sharing

None of the fighters were shown on the radar plotting SW that I use (Flightradar, ADSB, Planespotters). However, interestingly, at the same time as these 4 fighters, an A.400 of the Spanish AF (T.23-03) was flying in a race track pattern just NE of Saarbrücken. It took off from Wunstorf at 09:00 Z, entered the race track at 09:40 Z, left the race track pattern at 11:20 Z, finally landing at Zaragoza at 13:19Z

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11jKqUL ... sp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/147rChL ... sp=sharing

My assumption is that the A.400 was possibly refuelling the fighters, which would make them SpAF F-18s.

Can anyone confirm this, identify these jets, serials of course a great bonus...?

Thanks!

Not sure, however i think the Spanish F18s started the Baltic Air Policing at the beginning of April.
I think AME1207/1208 have been heard in that period on the way to the Baltics, but not sure.
Perhaps Joost or Klaas have better notes on this subject?

Wishful thinking; Pakistani Hercules inbound Brussel? https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=76104b

Some ex BAF C-130s are sold to Pakistan; maybe picking up some equipment / spare parts or delivery of a pick-up crew.
Assume makes an ASS of U and ME.
