The problem was, the Hercules had no serial, no flag, no „UAE Air Force“ on fin or fuselage to identify it. Please have a look. https://www.eddh-airport.de/eddhairport/ https://www.netairspace.cc/photos/1213/United_Arab_Emirates_Air_Force/Lockheed_C-130H_Hercules/HAM_EDDH_Hamburg_Fuhlsbuettel_Helmut...

Something that happened already some years ago:

All German CH-53GA and GS are with HSG64 (Hubschraubergeschader 64) at Laupheim and Holzdorf of the German Air Force!! No more Heer or German Army!

The days on which the Danish Display F-16 will be flown in 2021. Most if not all will be performed by E-191 „Dannebrog“, if serviceable: Translated in German: Schaut nach oben - wir trainieren weiter für die diesjährigen Airshows Seit dem 1 Juni haben wir den Demonstrationsflug der F-16 Solo-Display...

Visiting on 21.07. (landed at 9.45h) was French AF A400M 0095/F-RAFP of ET 01.061.

Active A400M with LTG 62 were 54+05 (from Tiflis), 54+06, 54+25 (from Tiflis) 54+33 and 54+34.

On the ramp were 54+09, 54+22, 54+24, 54+27 and 54+29.

Visiting and doing a "fake hooklanding" for a fire crew rescue training was Tornado IDS 44+34 of TLwG 33.

Visiting on 15.7. were:

Tornado ECR 46+40 of TLwG 51 (for fire crew training) and C-160D 50+57 of LTG 63.

Doing one overshoot was A400M CT-03 of BAC/15.Wing, 20.Smd.

The German Tornados are ECR and IDS, no other designation. Since decades the use of the designation which is used by the Air Force should be the one and only correct. It is done e.g. for the RAF (no Eurofighter but Typhoon FGA.4) and also using the right US Forces designations. So the Italian AF des...

Thanks for the nice reports over the years!
