Today last 2 Eagles flew over Holland enroute what I believe was Kecskemet but that could be wrong off course as Bulgaria was several times mentioned in various topics.

However while working Maastricht they told the Controller they would stay untill around 29th June. Which means we can expect them back around that time.

Hi,

If I'm correct then 1 flight was outbound (but this was for rework) and 1 flight was inbound earlier this week. No c/s or numbers though.

Cheers,
