Beja airbase #11 (LPBJ/BYJ) 2019 MIL

[Bennie]

ADS-B is showing a NATO 707 (LX-N90445) inbound on January 14th. (NATO01).

NATO41 is on her way in from Geilenkirchen on September 20th. ADS-B: LX-N90456.

Which is kind of odd, as earlier this morning NATO40 LX-N90454 already seemed to be inbound (after multiple approaches at Montijo). Odd because I cannot imagine 2 E-3s taking part in Real Thaw.

If I lie, the flightplan is lying, Erwin!

According to ADS-B LX-N90456 is in fact doing t&gs now @ Beja (15:30CET = 14:30LT).

I am not accusing anyone of lying. And that 'anyone' includes ADSBExchange which had it around Beja as well. I am only saying it is odd for two of them to fly into Beja the Friday before Real Thaw starts. In previous years they usually operated from home base, now two are on the ground.
Especially given that the rest of the exercise seems to be rather dull with just 2x C-130, C-160 and C-212 as all the foreign participants.
