Ramstein 31-07-2014
Not much going on this day. Local Hercules 08-8604 made a lot of approaches and 2 others returned. C-17 02 HunAF as well as a Charlston one came in. 5 or 6 departed from which only one taxied back all the way to the beginning of the run way. One C-5 took-off (luckily) with tail wind and further more an Army H-60, Atlas 747 and a local C-21 landed.
On my way back to the holiday park I stopped by Spandahlem and spotted 2 C-17's

Spotting at the east side is getting worse as the trees are growing bigger.
Wiesbaden 05-08-2014
As usual it is very quit here, but to catch a RC-12 this is the place. One white C-12 left and another one made some approaches. The wind was cross, so they changed the landing direction twice, but because of that I caught the C-12's while taking-off. Taking picture on the field is strictly prohibited and is checked by security inside the airfield and Polizei patrolling outside. But shooting pictures in the air is OK. The RC-12 took-off north and later on, when the sun came back, a UC-35 landed. Further more quit some UH-60's on the platform.

Buchel 06-08-2014
Buchel is only 20 minutes from the holiday park, so I went for the morning mission as the sun is the best at that time. 6 Tornado's left between 10.30 and 11.30. After a long while ±2 hours they came back.

In 2012 this was the Tornado with the Arctic Tiger painting.
Norvenich 07-08-2014
On our way back home we made a stop at Norvenich. Just before we arrived UH-1D 71+65 took-off. 6 EF2000's were only 15 / 30 minutes out. After a while all 6 came back together. After the other 5 had landed, the special painted 31+06 did some low approaches and flew very low full power right over our car where my wife and daughter were waiting, awesome.

Unfortunately one big cloud with some rain blocked the sun when the Eufies returned. The only EF2000 landing with a little sun was the 31+06.
