With the spotters days fast approaching do we know the full list of aircraft types participating? I did see Qatar on the list at some stage but looks like they're observers now, unfortunately.
Today visited the second spottersday and the last at AE2015/1. This because all national participants left in the evening and most of the international participants will depart on monday . Pictures of this event are already uploaded by some others.
I made this log from my notes and pics of the spottersdays. There are a few blanks (such as two Turkish C-130's on the 19th), and one of the Hueys needs confirmation. I am also not entirely certain of the exact location of each of the Turkish F-16's. It seems that some were moved around over the days. Any other corrections or amendments are welcome as well!
Best wishes,
Jonathan

The Spanish arrived on the 18th in the evening, the first one around 7.30pm, and the second one around 9.30pm (I do not know the tie ups). The Turkish C-130's arrived on the 19th, but I have little info on these. I know that one Turkish C-130 left around 1pm. C-130B 62-3496 left around 2.30pm and Spanish C-130 T10-08 left around 3pm. I know that more people were around the base on the 19th, so hopefully more info will become available here!
Best wishes,

The Spanish herc which arrived just after we were dropped at the main gate was in grey scheme,by all accounts the second Spanish herc was in camo scheme.
Any tie-ups on which was which.
