Dear all,

can someone say if the AdlA CN235 has indeed arrived and, more importantly, if it's still there?

TIA

Not necessarily a big bird, 04-22 was closed this morning with a big illuminated cross and trucks on the threshold. Not sure this lasted all day but I guess even light aviation had to divert to another runway for a while? But an update would sure be welcome, will leave the office shortly and it help...

Nice overview, but I believe the proper designation for the Spanish Mirages is F1M, unless they still have some unconverted F1CE or EE flying. F1CT's are the EC30 ones from Colmar.. Otherwise good info, keep it coming.

Another source claims the Rafales to be Marine examples by the way, which are a bit more interesting to my opinion.

Yes the light was fantastic, but ground equipment and general aviation makr it impossible to take the ultimate picture. Nevertheless, beautiful old lady in immaculate condition.

Go get it, still no activity there at 8:45..

C-130 RSAF In front of the Herc an A310(?) in what looked a bit like a Belgian Air Force c/s. Stansted, Aug 13, PM ? C-130 RSAF ? An124 Libyan Air cargo ? B.747 large Kuwait/UAE/I...

Hi Michiel. So the same dual as on Spang in the morning, how predictable! Then this second McGuire C-17 was behind the earth wall more or less on the same platform as the Stratotanker, only further away from the large hangar (so closer to the runway)? Where also the Mississippi Air Guard Globe went?...

Thank you Michiel, seems like I missed 44132 somehow then. Hmm Scheisse. Where about was it parked? Then I can search for it in the background of pictures of the departing Gallies (although that doesn't really count for me, that's spotting in retrospect).. By the way, I forgot to mention the Spang F...

OK Oscar, clear. Seems like KC-135R 63-7984 has either been on the tarmac for at least half a week or it returned during the weekend. Thanks again for the info!

Sure does Oscar, I logged the 2 at around 11 AM, so pretty obvious which ones.. Many thanks!

My log from yesterday. Spangdahlem AB 30 April 2007: 91-403/SP F-16C 23FS 91-409/SP F-16C 23FS 91-417/SP F-16C 23FS 91-474/SP F-16D 23FS 2x2 F-16 landing 2x C-17 t/o the last 2 pairs of Vipers came in and 2 (of 4 present) Globemasters left as the police were sending us away..

Hi all,

question for UK spotters: Are on Spring Bank Holiday (May 28 this year) Lakenheath and Mildenhall normally closed or is (limited) flying activity to be expected?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Wildcat34 AS532U2 inbound SPL-east to pick-up some DC-10 items.

ETD 14:45LT to EHEH for dropping the items!

Thanks Oscar. Just saw it overflying Amstelveen again, heading east-southeast. Anyone for the serial?

Just now overflying Amstelveen towards Schiphol-Oost with gear down a Cougar or Super Puma. Looked like KLu but not 100%.

Regards,

Bart

Pardon my ignorance guys, but where is M-buffer? Got the Commando's but want to give it another go for their escorts tomorrow morning..

Thanks in advance.
