Short visit to Cologne-Bonn to catch the Transall Goodbye Tour. The overflight was a bit disappointing as the 2 C-160s took runway 32R instead of the planned runway 24. It went to 10 airports today (as XFW was cancelled) with another 14 tomorrow. One Canadian C-17 (CC177) was present while earlier in the day 2 more had left as did a A310 (CC150). They are shuttling folks from Kuwait who came from Kabul/Afghanistan after the recent Taliban take-over. Hi-Fly A330 9H-SZN & A319 9H-XFW were used to fly them on to Canada.
Cheers
Anton
