Did you watch the slow low go left side? - almost too slow, almost too low -made me shiver......

Thank you for putting in these nice photos

Great pictures and very good explanations, Rob. That earns you a "well done". May I forward your formation shot to the 4 Stormo association? On the other hand, it's good to see that you did not have any problems. When I started visiting Grosseto in the mid-ninetees, my first encounter with the carab...

Expect flying activity on friday only until 1200 loc time (as usual on a friday). Todays activity was rather low: 6 EF in the morning plus 3 TORNADOS on low approach and 2 EF in the afternoon (30+76 and 31+07) plus arrival 30+38 (Badge TLG 73) and departure 30+14 (badge TLG 74).

As far as I know only C-160D ESS (with ECM equippment) are being used in AFG and MALI. And the TRALL on your photo is one of those!

This is a Luftwaffe Transall with UN-markings (probably for the MALI ops). Perhaps 50+56 or 50+36 from Wunstorf?

Great set of photos, Olli. Keep on shooting.....

30+72, 75, 76, 83, 90, 97, 98 and 31+01 all returned from NL last friday. The other aircraft on loan from TLG 74 returned to Bavaria (Lechfeld) and immediately received their badge again!

Thanks for the G-781 picture.

By the way, acc. to FLUGZEUGFORUM 31+00 (spec colours) flew at Wittmund on March 20th as well as 31+07 and two other EF. Total No. of EF detached to Wittmund estimated 7-8.

31+00 is at Wittmund and 31+06 on maintenance.

Thanks for the nice photos. What about G-781 and the Ramstein Hercules?
