Spang closed in June....

Hi,

With the 480th on AEF duties, and the A-10s left after this week, the thought they better could close this place for a month:
AD ETAD: AIRFIELD CLOSED. 01 JUN 04:00 2013 UNTIL 30 JUN 23:59 2013. CREATED:
14 MAY 15:47 2013

and.. looking to last weeks AMC traffic at Ramstein, they can have some extra AMC traffic overthere as well.

Additional notam:

AD ETAD: NO AIR MOBILITY COMMAND(AMC)-ACFT ARRIVALS. 29 MAY 20:00 2013 UNTIL
01 JUL 04:00 2013. CREATED: 21 MAY 06:47 2013

And for the C-5s already:
AD ETAD: NO C-5 ACFT ARRIVALS. 27 MAY 20:00 2013 UNTIL 01 JUL 04:00 2013. CREATED:
21 MAY 06:43 2013

Is spang operational the next couple of weeks? I'm staying in the area and want to pay a visit. What type of 'action' can I expect on a normal weekday?

Live near Echternach in Luxembourg.
Have seen several C17s turning overhead towards Spang the last couple of weeks.
Since last week - fortunately - also F-16s pass by again (this morning already at 06:00 o'clock).

so, yes, there is action.
whether it is a lot..... ??!
definitely not to be compared to a couple of years ago

good hunting !!

Last week I spotted at Norvenich two times two SP F-16CM's. From Olli I received the information that SP is flying is two waves with 4 F-16's so the activities are low profile, probably due to the fact that there are still some Fighting Falcons out there somewhere....
