Re: KC-135s at ETAD. Help needed for the overview . Your input please
Good initiative Frank! Not sure if you want to include it, but for me personally it's interesting which ones are MPRS-equipped. As these accompany the Growlers.. I know at least 80035 is.
Cheers, Bart

Re: E8 RS landing time
Today also a relatively short mission. It's on its way back from an orbit over Romania, close to the Moldova border, after having taken off after 10 AM today.. Scaling down? Tech issues?

Re: Growlers back home?
Rumors at the fence were last week only 4 were at Spang, indeed. Anyhow, at least 2 fighters just went out as well, not F-16s. Taking into account the missions they flew Thursday and Friday and the MPRS Tanker that just went out before the fighters, I agree they (EA-18G's) have not returned to CONUS...

Re: Growlers back home?
2 tankers departed SP just now, eastbound with Lager callsigns. One of them appears to be 80035, which is equipped with the MPRS drogue pods and lacks the USAF probe in its boom.. This is the same KC-135 that supported the Growlers yesterday, so it seems they, or at least some, are still here, flyin...

Stratotanker 80035 is 141 ARW, according to its flying boom and nose markings.

Re: Growlers back home?
Activity very low past few days. Apparently only 1 flew each day the past few days. Rumor at the fence is that only 4 are currently here..

Re: ETAD recent activities
Looks like the Growlers are already preparing their return journey. Awfully quiet at the moment with only 1 of them active daily the past few days. Rumors at the fence are that only 4 are currently at Spangdahlem.

Re: Spangdahlem Easter Weekend. Growlers, Raptors and Tankers
05 is ok in the morning, especially when they turn in tight. The spot is still the same as 15 years ago (and also the nort side, so evening 05 landings). For the eastside, park at the end of the Saalholzstraße, at the start of the public footpath. If you bring stairs, you can also (with some luck) d...

Re: Spangdahlem Easter Weekend. Growlers, Raptors and Tankers
Very nice Frank, and thanks for sharing. Was there yesterday, the CAG bird is just smashing isn't it, but unfortunately we had easterly winds. Hopefully better luck next week. Question: Do you need a stairs for the spot with runway view on the east-side? I remember the hill but not sure it's still t...

Re: Help kindly needed on SP ;-) thanks
Locals won't fly. You can expect some F-35s (please remember they fly 6-7 hr missions, usually a 4-ship early morning followed by 2 2-ships over the day) and perhaps a few Growlers with tanker support.
