and 3 were towed from C-5M 85-0007 into the hangar.

Hi Perry,

Any chance some of these are the long rumoured M-models (recognizable by the modified nose for the FLIR-turret)?

When these UH-60M's will be delivered to Europe, I'd rather expect them to be delivered by ship. Just like the Apaches and Chinooks last week. The Blackhawks at Ramstein are probably the ones returning from Afghanistan.

I have inside information that the above statement regarding the Ramstein/Afghanistan link is correct.

Thanks, so theres still some time to catch the ´older´ models before being swopped. I never had that chance with those Apaches, so I´m relieved!

no, all are Medevac A-models and L-models from Ansbach, returning from the east. The L's have the last 3 of the serial in white.
Unfortunately they are parked with the nose to the runway on ramp 2.

Perry

Just after dark a small bizjet arrived, callsign "Omni 401", and parked on ramp 3, the vip ramp.
Anyone any idea on this one? SBS?

Thanks,
Perry

Worth alot, it gives an indication about the tailnumbers that could be there. Now we just need the confirmation that the SBS log is correct.

Thanks, keep them comming
