EWAS confirms that the aircraft is in the air at this time. Slightly revised ETA of 1515LT. Credit: EWAS.
The C-26 will park at the Aviation Cosmetics hangar (civil apron), so photoopportunities will be very good at Parking P4, although the weather won't cooperate I fear...
Be sure to be on time, because the aircraft will likely disappear into the hangar immediately after turning off the engines!
This is the last of all 4 European-based USNavy C-26's to get a new paintjob at Eindhoven's Aviation Cosmetics. Previous C-26D's were:
- Early September 2009: 900530 of NAF Sigonella.
- Mid-September 2009: 900531 of NAF Sigonella.
- Late May 2010: 910502 of NAF Napels.
Go get the last one!

Stephan
