Haven't posted for a while. Not sure if anyone reads or is interested in this airfield. Anyway, lots of Federal Police Super Puma's but hard to read them from different angles. Expected more unusual helicopters due to recent floodings but they seem to be using other fields like Nörvenich and Bad Neu...

Thanks Herby! I was already confused by seeing CH-53 references to both Army and Air Force so good to know it is now Luftwaffe

Two CH-53’s were carrying non-stop large bags of stones & sand from a stone quarry to Erftstadt that was hard hit by last week’s flooding. Great that the German Army has these large helicopters in their inventory. Hoping for a quick recovery for all the people affected! Pix: https://www.flickr.com/p...

cheers

Also in town this morning Italian Air Force KC767A 14-04/MM62229 (IAM1448)

Great Dane Airlines operated a charter to Cologne-Bonn and a nice EMB195 in a Bamboo Airways cs showed up. The lease in Vietnam has ended but they didn’t bother yet to repaint it. Nice was also the newest Star Air 767 in a different cs. Cheers Anton Pix: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gulfstream3/alb...

Short visit to check out the helis which were unfortunately all repeats. Gang of 5 sky texters/sky writers (4 Extra’s and a S2 Pitts) left for a joint flight. A day later I saw their texting results in the sky so included that in album below. Seems an advertisement for Deutsche Telekom. Cheers

Visit to Cologne-Bonn to catch the Privilege Style A321 and the Robinson 738. AlsieExpress ATR was a nice surprise and picked up 1.FC Köln football club for their return game against Holstein Kiel. cheers Anton Pix: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gulfstream3/albums/72157719291581053 Log: 28 May 2021 ...

A very nice Spanish Air Force A310 and a cool red/black KlasJet 735 were two major highlights today!

The Indian Air Force C-17A was picking up supplies to help fight the covid crisis back home. Last Sunday one came to Hahn, on Saturday they choose for Frankfurt so had to make a stopover to catch that rare military bird!
