Hi Maurits, two corrections for the Italian if I may: the correct i/d is MM62179/46-44, not 6279/43-44

Tactical approaches and cargo pickups for the Dutch again, the internationals will perform full-stops with the Dutch flightleads (last week on thursday the flightlead was the Italian who didnt perform too well imo..) The A400M is not planned to participate at Twenthe and just the Dutch, Greek, Polish, Romanian and Italian

Wave at Twente picked up paras there, so my first information (which was dissaproved by some?) was correct, they picked up both cargo + paras on the Charlie platform over the last two weeks and that rounds up the operations at Twenthe.

Yes I agree. Thanks.

Are there tomorrow and friday the same waves expected like before in the 2nd week? So a departure around 13:00.
And also the participation of the Romanian C27 and the Greek Herc.

Likely, but not certain. Today, all 7 departed together at 12.30, then flew different missions and rejoined EHEH together around 15.10, after which 4 aircraft landed and the two Dutch plus the A400 continued with their mission.

One general remark: we at EWAS have received info that the KMar is actively sending away people with stairs when they are standing too close to the fence (in the opinion of the KMar). This has happened during the week at P5 and at the treshold of runway 03. So far, people have only been warned off. This probably has to do with actions earlier in the year at both Eindhoven and Schiphol by people supporting Greenpeace and/or Extinction Rebellion.

Just to be on the safe side, be aware of this before you go out hunting for your Perfect Picture!
