Is spang operational the next couple of weeks? I'm staying in the area and want to pay a visit. What type of 'action' can I expect on a normal weekday?

Thanks all for your help. With your help I found the info on the luftwaffe site. It seems that the list on SIS is not completely up to date. At least Emmen has some Jet activity while I'm there. http://www.lw.admin.ch/internet/luftwaffe/de/home/verbaende/einsatz_lw/flpl_kdo_emm/flugbetriebszeiten.Ne...

I'm on Holiday near Meiringen this summer (27/7-10/8. However SIS says there is no fighter movement in the period I'm there, which is bad luck. As I can see this for more airbases in Switzerland, does that mean it's like this every year? Do they close the base for the summer or something or maintena...

Seriously?!? It's still listed as flying on the airpower website. Would be really bad. I think there are way too many cancelations

Planning to go to Wittmund next Wednesday (29-5). Are there any known things that prevent flying on that day?

I used about 300mm from the spottershill and that was fine. You can get them when they turn off the runway, but in my view there is a lot of clutter in your field of view which isn't good looking in the picture. They then drive behind the little 'glass house' at the runway. When they are past that y...

Thanks for all the info. After arriving at Marseille airport I took the rental car and went to Istres to be safe. I was there from 15.00-17.30 or so. Activity was low. I only spotted two civilian aircraft but also one tanker that did a total of 8 landing approaches(!). That means I was entertained a...

Well, if you fly into Marseille, Istres is located on the other side off the bay. But I guess it will take some time to find the right spot; Istres can be difficult. Scramble's airfieldguide could come in handy! I haven't found a similar site about Istres either! But you can check the link below fo...

Check out the link below, it is the official website of BA 115. Now, my french is not that good but I think that there is no flying at Orange this week. Better luck next time!

I'm flying to Marseilles on Wednesday for work, but I'm arriving at 1pm already and have the rest of the afternoon off. I would like to go to Orange to do some photography. Are there any things going on that prevent them from flying? I mean things like exercises elsewhere, night flying, runway maint...

Great set! However, I find the bottom bar in your images with the signature very distracting, especially in the shots with the clear blue skies.

Thanks a lot Oscar! Actually there wasn't a lot of activities going on. I left around noon and went to Buchel instead.

Hi, i am at spang for the first time today. I'm wondering where this hill is at the north side. I have followed the airfield guide and walked through the Forrest area. Now I'm at the landing lights, which are on an elevated part, but is that the hill that is described in the guide? [ Post made via M...

I'm completely confused now

Are these the tornados for the Steadfast Noon exercise? Or is this not related to that?

I was planning to go there on 17/10 or 24/10 when the exercise is ongoing. Now it seems the tornados have started a month early
