Are you 100% sure that both departed from Ramstein?? I thought they departed from Stuttgart instead of Ramstein.

Cheers,
Eric

Note callsign Rangr(not Ranger).
Indeed was showing as RANGR , but could this have been atc callsign filed on flightplanes (therefore showing on mode-s as such) but pronounced as Ranger. Same as Herky always shows as HKY

Plse Advise?

(temp) based C130J 04-3142 departed home around 08.00 in the morning.
It left as Herky99 which is a ferry call sign most of the times.
Not sure if it only went back for maintenance or for a new task at a US mainland based squadron.

There was a C-17 landing that day 14.01l. Anyone with ID? Saw it from a far distance, maybe yellow stripe.
