Rob,
that's exactly the reason.

Is this the C-17 which we can expect at Wiesbaden upcoming Sunday, or will this be the Spirit of Berlin? I chatted with the crew here in Frankfurt. That is what I thought and asked as well. They did not know, they would just fly the plane south, to an undisclosed destination (which turned out to be...

Die 17-85 IS USM is sinds eind februari bij mij in gebruik (op een EOS 40D, in kombinatie met een 70-300 IS USM). Ik heb de 17-85 voor vliegtuigfotografie echter nog amper gebruikt. Ik ben er tot nu toe zeer tevreden over, maar spreek dus alleen over huis-tuin-en-keuken foto's :wink: Heeft barrel di...

The C-17 is scheduled to depart to Aviano at 13.45lt.
The C-20 is scheduled to leave for Berlin-Tempelhof at 14.00lt.

Presently parked on the former Rhein-Main Air Base are: 98-0049 C-17A 62AW (Spirit of Rhein-Main) 90-0300 C-20H nn if I saw it correctly, in between work, there is also a (dark grey, most likely USAF) C-130 parked over there. All are present for the "Berlin Airlift 60 Years Celebrations". Regards, G...

For the photographers among us....... I guess the following says it all about the photo-opportunities: Local newspapers mention the possibility of having your pictures taken in the cockpit of a C-130 or C-17. By the way, quote from the newspaper (also mentioned on the official Wiesbaden AB website):...

If the header is changed, to mention both the Thunderstreak and the Thunderflash. Maybe the Thunderscreech needs to be mentioned too? I remember seeing that XF-84H (s/n 51-17059) in Bakersfield, CA in Feb96 (according to the Scramble-DB this is now in Wright-Patterson). Google it and have a look, it...

Ik kan als "frequent-flyer" van en naar Frankfurt, bevestigen dat het verhaal van Erik hier boven zeker GEEN uitzondering vormt. Ik vlieg vaak van de V.S. (meestal Detroit) naar Frankfurt en heb het gevoel dat je hier met een fototas standaard aan de beurt bent. Ik heb altijd kopietjes van mijn (Dui...

I just noticed the following, parked on the far western side of Frankfurt-airport (16APR at 13.30lt):

I don't know when it came in and I don't know when it will leave......

Those were the days
