I drove down to Köln-Bonn and tried get the An-124 on its visit today. That worked: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52060095675_2a2a2191be_b.jpg UR-82027 An-124 ADB I combined this with a visit to Spangdahlem afterwards. Must say it was a good way to spend a Sunday! Thanks Anton (PH-AVR) for the...

4 different Growlers flew today. 2 in the morning mission. 2 in the afternoon. (I don't have the serials from the afternoon mission, but they started before the morning mission was back, so I am reasonably sure it were 4 different birds )
Local aircraft maintenance company Gehling has an interesting plane in the hangars now (seen on the 5th of May):

Nice shots of the days!
Well, I see that was the better choice then taking a look at Ramstein, as I did.
I am surprised they flew from the 23 side on the Monday, everything in the area used the other direction (Frankfurt, Ramstein). Is that something that is prefered on Spangdahlem?
Noted during a short stop today was the NAF931, the ATR from Nigeria.
It is sitting outside currently, and can be seen from the Academy side of the airfield.
