No offense man, but as long as you are not a pilot und you don´t use it for flying, who cares?

Nice log but I think 4637 is a JaboG32 Tonka.

[leonard van T]

yes, it,s also not an IDS but ECR so maybe no takeoff but approach..

thanks Olli

Noted today performing a low-approach at Nörvenich was 45+84 (only 90% sure, I first thought it was 46+04 but on video at home and one larger screen it looks like 45+84) in each case it was lizard (=green/charcoal) colour scheme and still wearing a GAFTTC badge as it was a former Holloman based aircraft.
