Ben Gurion Intl (LLBG) 2020

Post by Starman »

Israel marked 75 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp with ceremonies at the Holocaust Memorial site, Yad Vashem. Over 40 foreign dignatories, heads of states and assorted royalty attended, with a plethora of Military, Government and c*v*l aircraft.
The "party" started around 15th Jan with visits by HAF C-27 4122 (poly omorfus?) and an AMI C-130J getting into full steam from the 19th with 4 RA-serialled IL-76MDs (RF-s would've cost more???). These unloaded Premier Putins vehicles etc and were shunted down to ETM (Eilat Ramon). Some C-17As followed, the very beautiful Mississippi Guard 33116 (RCH298) with 437thAW 77182 (RCH362) both of which have just (Friday 08Z) returned from Aqaba (obv the 33116 is much less beautiful now). Also leaving Aqaba but heading into Amman this morning was 99205 (RCH554). 00213 437AW also appeared one evening.
So, and in no particular order, a selection of what we've had:
A36-001 B737 RAAF
CE-03 ERJ 145 BAF (or whatever they call themselves this week)
C-080 CL604 (hmm, missed that :( )
2801 A-319 Czech AF
OM-BYA A-319 Slovak Govt
MM62243 A-319 AMI
102004 RSwaf Gulf
17402 FAP Falcon
9A-CRO, YU-SRB, EK73736, 4O-MNE, 4K-AZ888 (not sure of the correct reggie), Z3-MKD assorted biz jets plus a Dutch Govt B737 calling KL9932/33
ZE700 HS146 (OK, BAe 146) QF (serial from ADSB)
T.18-2, T.18-3 & T.22-2 Assorted Spanish
F-RAFB Falcon 7X with F-RARF A330 Adel'A
90003 C-32A (SAM819 - gone to Ciampino) with 10193 (RCH501) C-17A and a pair of C-40s 02-0202 and from memory 10042 VPOTUS group
15+02 A319 with 16+02 A340 Lw
RA96014, 96021 & 96022 IL96s with RA73025 A319
L1-01 was planned & spotted on ADSB but I cant confirm it made it here and 9A-CRO is returning imminently (why??)

Can anyone confirm whether this RAF C-130 landed here this afternoon? The track on ADS-B was all over the place but it did descend over Israel. I'm not sure if it went to LLBG or LLEK.

ZH888 C-130J Hercules C.5 RRR5704 from LCRA

Think it went south (Aqaba maybe) as it just came back at 16000' over TLV

Thanks, perhaps one of the airbases south of Jerusalem then. Definitely descended upon entering Israeli airspace so I'm sure it touched down somewhere in the country.
