Re: Twente Airport 13+14 May 2020 Pink Skyvan

That's not right. Night VFR is allowed as of 2020. Earlier this year the Vliegclub Twente already flew VFR at Night.

Nice one Sjoerd!
A small addition from my side, The Learjets are operated by GFD. GFD is not owned by Qinetiq, but a subsidiary of Airbus. :-)

Re: EHTW 12-05-2020

Geen paradropping dus. Landingzone operations zijn missies waarbij pathfinders een startbaan prepareren en daar de lokale luchtverkeersleiding verzorgen. De landingzone wordt afgebakend, de piloten worden van meteo voorzien en geklaard voor landing.

Re: Liège Bierset (EBLG-LGG) 2020 CIV

I see Estonian Border Guard AW139 ES-PWC flying near Düsseldorf heading southwest (time 15.00lcl). I think this is a very likely candidate for the Leonardo facility at EBLG.

Ik zie de Falcons van Shell deze week al verschillende keren op en neer vliegen naar Münster-Osnabrück. Bijzonder, hebben ze in Duitsland soms olie gevonden? :wink:

Re: Nov2020 Koln/Cologne/Keulen: European Rotors show event

So the helicopters are moved from Düsseldorf Airport to the Kölner Messe. Wouldn't it make more sense to use Köln-Bonn Airpport, which is much closer?

Re: Defender Europe 20

The first thing that comes to my mind is the excercise around volkel last year where everything was kept secret, apaches were patrolling around the base, etc. I heard that was some kind of preparation for an excercise this year. It could also have something to do with excercise Brilliant Jump, whic...
