ETAD 8-6: Growlers leaving

All good things come to an end. Various sources state that the Growlers will leave and move to Prestwick (probably to go back to the US after that)

How to drive 900km for one A340 which landed in my backyard

How we drove 900 kilometres for one aircraft which landed in our backyard the following day. This Wednesday I really set my mind to see at least one of the German Air Force A340s before they will retire this year.

Re: Nachos anyone? KC-10s still there?

Thanks Trabanti. Just out of curiosity: why does Arizona have a lot of BUFF? Barksdale is Louisiana and Minot in North Dakota. Or am i missing the joke:)

Hi all

For the overview page: can someone confirm that the three Nachos, the KC-10s, will remain at ETAD for a while?

Thanks!
