LOG & REQ Gando 27.2.16.

Post by John Wildman »

This is a bit of a tongue in cheek LOG I’m afraid, as I spent a very frustrating hour on the viewing deck at Las Palmas last Saturday, overlooking the Military side of the airfield.

Equipped with minimal optics, I managed to log the following but with huge gaps in identities. Serials in brackets are assumed from codes?

From left to right as you overlook the apron was the following:

(T.21-10) 35.48 CN295M 353 Esc (?)
LX-N90444 E-3 NATO


(C.16-46 ) 11.16 EF200A Ala 11
+ 5 others, with each one blocking the next one !

30+92 EF2000 TLG 31
EF2000
A-4 Skyhawk
A-4 Skyhawk
With 3 x GFD Learjet 35’s ( D-CGFB, GFJ & GFM)?

EF2000 (German)


(529) 115-QC Mirage 2000B EC02.005
Mirage 2000B
Mirage 2000C (?)
Mirage 2000C (?)

A line of 5 x F-16AM’s Belgium A.F.

2 X EF-18s Spanish A.F., with an F-16AM and a F-16BM, Belgium.

10 x EF-18s Spanish A.F.

Around the corner by the last hangar was a lone EF-18 Spanish A.F. with two also visible in the hangar.

The next apron was the HAS site, all of which were firmly closed, and no aircraft were evident.

As I say, very frustrating and it’ll teach me to go on holiday better equipped next time :( !

Cheers,

John.

The Skyhawks should be C-FGZD/367 and C-FGZS/337 of Discovery Air Defence, because these two departed Wittmund for Gando on Feb 26.
