Re: Spangdahlem 3-9-2019
I thought so too. They were not showing on ADS-B, not sure if they're north- or homebound. I'm in position for departure shots, expect they'll leave after lunch.

Re: Spangdahlem 3-9-2019
Thought I heard them too an hour or so ago, but they're still here @ 3 PM and I'm gonna call it a day due to the more and more unfavourable position of the sun.. Good luck all!

Re: Spangdahlem 3-9-2019
There were only 4 I'm afraid. They left around the time you posted, 16.50? That's going to be a late arrival in Torrejon then.

A spanish official video shows a flight of five making a low pass over Torrejon and 12-02 and 12-15 taxiing in?

There are more possibilities:Bennie wrote:Perhaps old footage?Arjan wrote:A spanish official video shows a flight of five making a low pass over Torrejon and 12-02 and 12-15 taxiing in?
- as hendriks stated, there may actually have been five (perhaps one arriving earlier or later at Spang)
- if there were four, one might have taken off from Torrejon to welcome them,
- etc.
who knows?

Re: Spangdahlem 3-9-2019
True, the 5th one could have made a low straight-in just before the 4-ship came overhead (fuel priority?). I was standing near the chapel so I could have missed it. However, I find it unlikely as the circuit was fairly busy at that time with F-16's returning. Also, I should have heard it taxiing. And only 4 were reported to have left Siauliai in the first place..
As long as no-one id'd the 5th one, it will remain a question mark. I have the 4 photo-proven.
Cheers, Bart

Re: Spangdahlem 3-9-2019
Hi. I have a picture with code 12-02 on it. That nummer is missing in your post. I,am glad that you read the otter 4 because I could only read 12-15. But again thanks for posting in the first place otherwise I would have miss them.
