well, the most interesting thing we missed was the KC-130T that left in the morning. but I think we saw most stuff.
Did no-one see the MH-53E that was between cargo near C-5M 83-1285? we are very curious about that one, maybe someone has the opportunity to have a look today?

Kind regards,

Mick, Joan and Per

I believe that C-37A 01-0029 from 6AMW was also in RS this day. Departed early morning.

[perrie]

Hi Eric, too bad we missed that one.
You don't know anything about that MH-53 on the ramp?

Per

[Maurice]

Hi Eric,

That one must have departed before 8AM than.

Maurice.

[perrie]

Hi Maurice,

I noted the MH-53E later otherwise I could have told you before you went on base.
Did you see it near the C-5M ??

Hope you made some good pics!!!

cheers, Per

[Maurice]

Hi Per,

Sorry, I was refering to Erics C-37, not to the MH-53. That one wasn't clearly visible from base side due to the high buildings and us only expecting big birds out there...

Nice meeting you btw!

Regards, Maurice.

[jp 74]

A usmc mh53e ?
I think it should be a usmc ch53e or a usn mh53e.

[Eric van Lisdonk]

@Maurice, the C-37A was dep 06:45LT to the east.

Cheers,
Eric

[perrie]

Hi Maurice,

I understand you were referring to Eric's C-37, I was just hoping someone would have been able to read off that MH-53 or CH-53 that was parked there with so many people working on Ramstein and probably many spotters amongst them...

Anyway was a nice day and nice to meet you to Maurice!!!

Per

[perrie]

Hi all,

Anyone for an id of the MH-53E/CH-53E that was at the Ramstein ramp on 16-10-2012? It was probably loaded into C-5M 83-1285 to ???

cheers, Per
