Zeltweg 03-05-2013

Decided to have a look in the afternoon. Some guy at the fence knew someone on base and called. Four EF2000s were schuduled to fly. This was at 13.00h. Later he called again, the area where they were supposed to go was closed. Between 13.00 and 16.00h this is what happened: Four hangars had been opened and closed, another one had opened and closed but nothing came out. Luckily at 14.45h some hangars opened and 2 EF2000s were towed out in front of their hangars to the passage beween the 12 hangars and taken to the backside of the hangars where they were put away in different hangars. This lasted less than 10 minutes. There are 12 hangars in a row with this passage in beween. Luckily there was another EF2000 with these 2 so I saw 7 different ones this week which is nice. At 16.15h I left and nothing had flown. PC-7s had been in their hangar all afternoon. In the morning I had seen one flying over Hohentauern though.

Being towed:
7L-WE EF2000
7L-WG EF2000
