Re: Albacete (LEAB/ABC) 2025 - MIL TLP 2025-3

So? Both sides are similar in terms of relative position, sun behind you. Westside even better probably for recoveries with these late afternoon missions..

Re: El Prat (LEBL/BCN) 2025 MIL

Just took off here was Indian AF C-17 CB-8007 (ADS-B), I couldn't read it myself (distance, heathaze and sun against me). While earlier I noted the Czech Tiger Meet delegation overhead towards Portugal..
