Stood at the 05 side all day (Scramble spot 4), the police allowed it. Parking at the spottersday parking and a 5 minute walk.

It seems Geilenkirchen has some personell problems, according NOTAM the base is closed on August 26, 27, 29 September 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11 and 13. I think that is the reason there are no tankers at the moment and if they come to Europe they seem to be flying out of Spangdahlem.

Apart from the ones you mentioned yourself I saw: 1014 W3 Pol.AF H3-74 AS532 Slov.AF ZZ398 Wildcat Br.Army 2045 BIM EC665 Fr.Army 74+63 EC665 GAr. 76+10 H145 GAr. 78+39 NH90 GAr. 16-1017, 17-1024, 17-1025 T-129 TuAr. M-519 Merlin DAF MM8168 15-05 Merlin It.AF 20741 UH-60M USArmy H-21, H-45, H-26 A-1...

Both visually confirmed. Washington ANG but in AMC Fairchild colours.

Will the PC-7's move or stay and fly from the taxi-track?

Inbound Laupheim.

79+04 came from Fassberg en 79+13 from Niederstetten.

Trend41 flight almost overhead Rotterdam now!

Four F-35's left Spang today back to the US via Luke AFB. They were the four F-35's that did the trials at Payerne. So 12 F-35's left at Spang. (Two of the F-35's diverted to Lakenheath with ptoblems and two went on to the States).

Do not expect the F-4's to depart on sunday, they have to fly via Aviano wich is closed on sunday. Expect an early mondaymorning departure of the Greek F-4's and Dutch F-35's (around 0800LT).

According NOTAM's Hill AFB is closed till july 26, that might be an indication how long the F-35's will stay.

Saw them arriving at Nellis a week ago, they are 88-0174 and 89-2176

I suspect that the new setup of TLP means that week one is completely acadamics. Week two and three will see flying every day! This way units will only have to send aircraft to Albacete for two weeks instead of the previous four weeks.
