Madrid-Getafe (LEGT) - 2009 MIL

Post by Piet Luijken »

LOG: 2 februari 2009:

Due to the rain in the Madrid area I decided to spend some time along the airfields for some numbers en some preserved aircraft. The drive around Getafe revealed these numbers, spotted from the various spots as noted in the airfield guide
Spot 3:
T.7-19 351-02 C207C preserved
Spot 6:
T.19B-04 35-22 CN235M-100 Ala35
A10C-110 HA220 preserved
Spot 2:
T.21-11 35-49 C295M 353Esc Ala35

Some more tails were seen at the platforms, like a SAR C212.

Also a greyish Orion with a blue rudder was parked at EADS, with a beacon light on, but no movement.

Nearby Getafe are three preserved aircraft, the following two I visited ( the other one I missed due to some wrongly noted down coords ).

At a roundabout on the street Ctra de San Martin de la Vega in Perales
T.12B-56 42-56 C212-100 preserved
At a roundabout on the street Avenida De Commandante José Manuel Rip
C.12-33 12-33 F-4C preserved

Forgot about the preserved aircraft..again..but due to the cloudy wather at Torrejon, and the non-flying attitude of the locals I decided to move to Getafe, just for the fun of it.
Strangely enough, the weather improved during the 30 min drive and I enjoyed the sun and some aircraft at the spot near the graveyard.

T.19B-04 35-22 CN235 CN235M Ala35 made some touch&go's
HT.17-07 RT-207 H-47 CH-47D BHELTRA V made a low level pass

There was a grey A330 outside the EADS factory, and a grey tail with a yellow/orange tailband.

Adios

Seen at Getafe on Thursday, 09.04.2009:

T.21-10 (35-48) Casa 295
T.21-07 (35-45) Casa 295
T.21-01 (35-39) Casa 295
T.21-03 (35-41) Casa 295
T.21-05 (35-43) Casa 295
T.19B-04 (35-22) Casa 295
Plus several Casa 212 and 2 Beech 90, which all were impossible to read because of parking position and heat waves...

Parked outside EADS:
EC-332 A330-MRTT
EC-334 A330-MRTT
and a B707, stripped of all paint and unmarked.

Any ideas which B707 this could have been?

Best regards
Lutz
