10-2-25 we started with a stopover at GLV5, Demon1, S-454 was flying here
11-2-25 we drove from our vacation home in Vaals to Geilenkirchen in the hope to see some Awacs action, we got lucky.
LX-N90445 was just starting up for a refuel mission together with a KC-135 as NATO40, it took a while for the KC-135 to start up so the awacs decided to make 4 touch and go's/low approaches first
finally the KC-135 turned up, 59-1446 from Maine
A refuel visitor, EC155 D-HLTF from the Bundespolizei
Another Awacs, this time LX-N90444 as NATO06 going to orbat at the Baltics
Before returning to Vaals a quick stop at flugplatz Aachen Merzbruck
the next day,12-2-25, a French KC-135 was plannend for Eindhoven at 12.00, we were just in time to see the landing, probably the last time to see it at Eindhoven before they leave the fleet, tailnumber 497 showed up
When we were at Eindhoven again we noticed on adsb a Blackhawk landing at Geilenkirchen so right after the landing of the KC-135 we turned around again to Geilenkirchen in the hope to see the Blackhawk, the timing could not be better as the Blackhawk was starting up the moment we arrived, 91-26319 from and to Wiesbaden as SPADE98
Returing from their missions 59-1498 and LX-N90453
