Bucharest-Henri Coanda (LROP/OTP) - 2011 MIL

Post by Cossack »

Hi all,

during a few hours waiting for my flight to leave, I saw the following on the military aprons on 18-07 in the evening:
801   AN26  Romanian AF
808   AN26  Romanian AF
809   AN26  Romanian AF
810   AN26  Romanian AF
1104  AN30  Romanian AF
2702  C27J  Romanian AF
5927  C130  Romanian AF
6150  C130  Romanian AF
6166  C130  Romanian AF
6191  C130  Romanian AF
ZZ175  C17  RAF
Another C-27 and An-26 could not be identified due to heat waves. The same goes for a whole lot of Puma's.
On sunday morning (17-07) there seemed to be some kind of aerial parade with 3 Puma's in formation, 1 EC135/145? and 2 Hips in formation, 1 C-27 and 3 IAR-99's in formation and finaly 3 Lancers in formation flying over the Palace of Parliament.
The Military Museum in town has quite a nice collection of aircraft (around 10) ranging from Coanda's "jet" to an IAR 93. It's well worth a visit, not in the least because of the enourmous amount of weaponry, uniforms, etc. from the beginning of time until present day.
All in all, quite some nice military stuff for a non military spotter like myself :P

Greets, Maikel
