Scramble Messageboard

KC-46A 18-46047 of 133rd ARS, New Hampshire ANG will fly missions until the end of the week.

Active in the morning of 08.03. were the following TLwG 51 Tornado IDS and ECR: 43+25, 44+21, 44+58 (still on loan with it´s TLwG 33 badge), 44+69 ("Air Defender 2023" special painted fin), 45+14, 45+77 and 46+36. Towed from the compass ramp to the northwest HAS area was 43+59. Obviously ECR 46+38 (...

Belgian F-16BM FB24 flew to Skrydstrup on 08.03., in exchange for FB17 which departed on the same day.

After departing to Manching on October 26th 2022 for C-Check together with retrofit A400M 54+07 arrived back at Wunstorf on March 7th 2024.

On 28.2. two Belgian F-16BM, FB17 and FB22, arrived for a short-time loan to train Ukrainian pilots. Even if Danish Fighter Wing operates with some three to four F-16BM during every single slot, there obviously is some need for further trainers.

Planned new arrival for LTG 62 on 1.3. should be A400M 54+45 while 54+11 is also planned to return from maintenance at Sevilla.

It is also carrying the centerline-HDU.

The first ever visit of a Armee de l’Air A330MRTT Phénix was made on 27.2. by 042/F-UJCH of ERVTS 01.031.

On 19.02. TLwG 31 deployed twelve out of a planned fourteen Eurofighter (two went u/s) at short notice to three different bases.

Wunstorf got TALON 01 to 04 with 30+52, 31+34, 31+38 and 31+53, six further went to Laage and two to Neuburg.

Rose Monday dictated the week.

Unfortunately the Aeronavale has cancelled it's participation so no 11F and 4F.

Next delivery to Beja should be P-3C 60+06 in the next four weeks.

24817 left as AFP77 in the morning of 9.2. and after reaching Portuguese airspace it was obviously escorted by another P-3C, 14810.

First noted at ADSB in the morning of 8.2. is 24817, presumably former MFG 3 P-3C CUP 60+08, flying patterns at Nordholz. It is noted at ADSB as Portuguese AF callsign AFP76.

It’s roll out had the special coloured Sea King, top colour is dark blue.

MFG 5 plans to paint another (last!) Sea King Mk.41 shortly and presumably 89+58 was chosen for this.

They should be some kind of flyout in spring and also some kind of „Good-bye Sea King“-tour formation around Germany.

Obviously the days before and after the weekend for the NTM spotterdays is not the best choice: Due to massive „Work in progress“ on the Autobahn A7 the Elbtunnel (Elbe Tunnel) will be closed completely from late-June 7th to early-June 10th so everyone should please plan some additional 1-2 hours fo...
