RAMSTEIN : Kind help needed

Post by FNF Rafale »

Hi all, :help:

Checking the different logs posted on Scramble and despite the fact that the activity is high with the war in Ukraine, it seems that on Sundays, most of the aircrafts are on the ramp. It means almost no flights. Can anyone confirm that point? :roll:

It seems that it is not the same on Saturdays, were activity can be as important as during a week day…

Last question, did you notice that there always the big early Monday morning bridge, with C-5, C-17, from the USA, bring stuffs for the PEx and US family?

Thanks in advance for any help. :byebye:

On sunday the quiet hours run until 12:00 meaning you often have a rush hour from around 1200 until 1400, last time I was there we had 4 C17s in row waiting for departing while another one came in in total we had 9 C17 departures in those 2 hours, plus 2 C130s

Thank you.
But March 13rd was 10 days ago now, half of the war.

Russians are short of ammunition and NATO has increased their deliveries.

Did anybody was in RS on 19th or 20th ?
Thanks.
Ps : and always the same question about early Monday morning activity ?...

As that is operational info, which is hardly ever available for Ramstein in the first place, I wouldn't count on it. Especially not in these times.

Don't know about Monday mornings unfortunately.
