Just for your infomation, Ryanair has a daily flight Bremen-Tampere. My ticket, only booked one week in advance had a rediculous price of 94 Euros (handluggage only)...

Cool! (y) Fun to see not much has changed over 10 years orso.

I see the two Russian MiG's haven't left Tampere yet so far. Last year there seem to be an auction to sell both aircraft, would had expected that both where sold/gone by know. Suprisingly this is not the case. Btw, the Mildenhall tanker is a nice catch there...

How do you know that F-18D HN-462 was in the hangar?

[eriktex]

that was an educated guess....the hangar was open and an FA-18D was inside...plus 3 other two-seaters were flying from Tampere the same day - not many options left. But still a guess...
