Today seen here:
All 3 PC-7s were seen overhead Schüttorf enroute to the range 9.24LT
Only 3H-FE was shown on ADSB.
ALpha Jet C-GVTA, LJ-35 D-CGFN were there FL070-150
I also saw 2 EF-2000 cirkeling at 9.50LT. Should have been Vader31 (= 31+51 by HEX). This one landed 11.08LT back at ETNN. Anyone can confirm the serial and the 2nd one that flew with it? It were not Shock11/12 (31+40/31+41), those were flying more NE in the TRA

Do note that although displayed as ASF8*, the PC-7 callsigns are actually Viper8*.
