Hi Charles,

Did you read the RAF Dominies for 100% sure??, because i have other serials from them.
Hear you soon.

Cheers,
Eric

On the way to/ from Switzerland (family related) we past Ramstein for some resting time. Noted on the way down (16th);
XS709/M Dominie T.1
XS736/H Dominie T.1

All the best,

Charles

[Jorg en Lindsey]

Eric,
Typo from my side. Serials as given from Jorg en Lindsey are correct.
Sorry for the confusion.

Inbound EBACE Geneva a stop was made at Ramstein. We first had a look in the east-end where the below C-130s were identified.
We stayed for around an hour (0800-0900L) with no activity. As we left a World MD11 came in.

22/05/2007 Ramstein AFB, (RMS / ETAR)

64-0502/RS C-130E Hercules USAFE
64-17681/RS C-130E Hercules USAFE
70-1274/RS C-130E Hercules USAFE
89-1182 C-130H Hercules TN ANG Tennessee - red
89-1185 C-130H Hercules TN ANG Tennessee - red
92-1533 C-130H Hercules WY ANG Wyoming - yellow
N803DE McDonnell Douglas MD-11 World Airways


As there were less activity than we expected we decided to make the trip to Landstuhl where 4 of 6 helicopters were identified around 1030L.


22/05/2007 Landstuhl-Regional Medical Center, ( / ETIP)

82-23754 Sikorsky UH-60A Blackhawk US Army
82-23756 Sikorsky UH-60A Blackhawk US Army
88-26020 Sikorsky UH-60A Blackhawk US Army/Med
88-26073 Sikorsky UH-60A Blackhawk US Army/Med


From Landstuhl we continued to the Bismarkturm and when we got to the top (around 1100L) a C-17 just arrived and another was on approach... Nice!

At 1130 we were off as we still had quite a distance to Geneva. Any help with the last C-17 and especially the Lynden Air Cargo Hercules that we were not able to ID on the platform

Last a thanks to Stephan Lodewijks for his Ramstein advice!

All the best, Michael

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Hi Michael,

I have some additions for you.

The Lynden Air Cargo L-100 was N402LC and the 62AW C-17 was the 02-1108.

Cheers,
Eric

Just checked my pix and read of the UH-60 that came in at 13.40 hours
It looks like it is the 86-24500 (the damn things are hard to read but im 90% sure it is this one)
That make,s it a rare one as it must be a UH-60Q a Medevac version from CECAT whatever this unit is ?
So perhaps anybody couldt confirm ?!?

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Hi Andel,

In that case 86-24550 is a better option. Callsign from this Blackhawk was Duke27. I'm also still searching for the right serial.

Cheers,
Eric

[evhest]

Hi,

Anyone for the serials of the two UH60's that visited Ramstein briefly on sunday 6 may? It was the same day that a US Navy C-130 and a Marines C-20 paid a visit.

I accidently deleted the pictures of the Blackhawk before noting down the serials...

Thanks!
Elmer

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Hi Elmer,

Serials from the Blackhawks are: 82-23757 and 87-24589

Cheers,
Eric

[evhest]

Whoa, you're fast! Thanks!
