Thanks for the confirmation Herby, we arrived in Germany today (Friday) and tomorrow would have driven 3 hours return from HAM on what would have been a fruitless visit, so thank you. Time for a black armband and to raise a glass to the one that got away........

Hello Could you confirm that there were other stored C-160Ds present as well even if you didnt read them? To only have one remaining stored Transall would mean they have been very active in removing them in recent months. After several years of not visiting Europe (due to living in Asia and Middle E...

One that got away.....

Typhoon ZK435 1Sqn finally departed Bermuda TXKF this morning (10Feb) having been stranded since arriving 12 Jan. Voyager ZZ334 arrived yesterday and both departed as RR9519 (ZK435) and RR9102 (ZZ334) en route to Lajes LPLA, so one to remove from the participants list.

Answers for the ...

Military visitors in Bermuda are not that common, those listed here are pretty much an entire year’s worth. There may have been a small number of others that came and went when I may have been looking the other way… This is not somewhere to be posted if you only collect mil! Dates are when I first n...

Great list Erwin

Do you have details of how much of an aircraft is remaining at each site please? The DC9 N942ML in Santa Fe especially caught my eye as its one I never saw in service.... That would warrant a specific trip to be arranged if it was anything more than a cockpit....

Noted visiting here 20 Jul 19 was UC-35D 166500 from MCAS Miramar

KC46A N5512A l/n 1166 (to be 86042) flew PAE-BFI on 23May, that should be your bird Tally
