Dear all,

Seen during our summer holidays through Germany, Austria and Italy were the following aircraft. Most visits were brief and serial spotting only. Serials wich are underlined were not actually read.

Today was a slow day, but that’s commonly known on Friday’s in Germany. Despite that, I took the efforts to drop by at Manching which was close to our hotel. I had never been at Manching before but heard and saw many about it, so I had to try it once. Runway 07R-25L was being serviced, so all aircraft had to use the other runway making spotting a bit more easy for me. Only one Tornado and a Typhoon took to the sky and returned not long after that. Not much, but great shooting here!

0944/D-HCBO EC.635T2+ to Iraq Army (ex 98+42)

The real gem (to become) was a primer EC.635 that flew on and off. This turned out to be one of the EC.635’s that’s bound for Iraq. Luckily I shot it a couple of times.

Anyone for the missing CH-53?

Eagerly wanting to see more of these I headed for Donauworth, skipping Neuburg instead. It turned out to be the right choice!

Cheers,

The 0944 was never 98+42 !! Flew all the time as D-HCBO !!
