C-130H 96-7323 of 186th AS, Montana ANG landed on 31.5. around 21.20h at Hamburg and will presumably depart in the early-morning.

The following C-130H2/H3 we have photo evidence for and are now based at Wunstorf:

92-1451 169th AS, Illinois ANG
95-1001 109th AS, Minnesota ANG
93-1562, 158th AS, Georgia ANG
92-0553, 192nd AS, Nevada ANG
92-1533, 187th ANG, Wyoming ANG
89-9102, 154th TRS. Arkansas ANG

The evening C-17A for Jagel should be 98-0056 from 144th AS/Alaska ANG. Not very often seen in Northern Germany.

C-130T 165159/CW-159 of VR-54 is planned to arrive on 31.5. at Hohn from Oslo to bring USN people and stuff left there because of the cancelled C-40A.

Number eight arrived at 15.25h in the shape of VAQ-142 EA-18G AJ-503, possibly 168271.

They arrived as planned! And as we all know the USN, they cannot be too calm for too long!

All serials have been corrected, hopefully everything is right.

Identified/noted so far at Hohn are all five fighter squadrons of USS Ford (in landing sequence): 166626/AJ-210 F/A-18F VFA-213 168930/AJ-213 F/A-18F VFA-213 CO a/c 166943/AJ-500 EA-18G VAQ-142 CO a/c 166781/AJ-305 F/A-18E VFA-31 166840/AJ-307 F/A-18E VFA-31 169398/AJ-404 F/A-18E VFA-87 166867/AJ-10...

Seven Super Hornet/Growler arrived on 31.05. at Hohn beginning at 11.35h. Serials later.

Obviously two more C-130J en route to Europe:

16-5849 and 18-5914 of 130th AS, West Virginia ANG.

Confirmed by photo are Wunstorf C-17A 05-5152, 89-1190, 96-0005 and 98-0057.

C-2A 162149 of VRC-40 Det. landed around 17.00.h at Hohn.

It departed after one hour on the ground.

I will get the Hercules serials tomorrow, after they landed, so no problem.

Obviously the USN flightplans of 30.5. are not worth the paper on which they are written…if they are written on paper at all! 🫣

Another C-17A, 05-5152/HH of 535th AS, Hawaii ANG/PACAF will go to Wunstorf.

To make it worth more than even now, TLwG 51 Tornado IDS 44+69 got a new special „Air Defender“ colourscheme and will be rolled out shortly.

C-17A 00-0183 from 156thAS, North Carolina ANG departed the USA as RCH326 for Jagel today.
