P-248 is main body. Only fintip is P-171. P-248 replaced P-171 last year. And only bits and pieces of P-171 were kept to use on P-248.

Thanks, clear enough for me.

P.S. @Ron: so it was the other way around :-)

On my picture it is clearly a C-5 Galaxy... (however: according to my camera that was taken at 11:51 local time) :wink:
Now it might be possible that within 4 minutes an An-124 and a C-5 flew overhead Volkel, but what are the chances...?

At the end of the show the Learjet N116MA from Skyline Aviation and KDC-10 T-264 from 334Sqn landed.
I also noted a Falcon from the SwissAF the T-785 on the other side near the C-130J.

I know this is not a photo topic, so I appologize if I'm posting of topic.

This picture shows a C5 (M?). Picture was taken at 11:48 (but the time in my camera might be a few minutes off)

My SBS says: C-5M 87-0045 USAF | 436AW | 9AS [KDOV] 2013-06-14 09:48:38 (GMT) Bemmel, NL. So this must be your one.
