Hi all,

Good old spotting with just a telescope between approx. 13.00h and 14.15h resulted in the following logged:

406 An-26 Hungary
(2x) Alpha Jet E nn (AdlA) dep 13.48h & 13.55h (one was coded ...-MA)
86-0013 C-5M 436AW
87-0033 C-5B 337AS/AFRC
87-0043 C-5B 337AS/AFRC
84-0192 KC-10A 305AMW
02-1112 C-17A 183AS/MSANG
04-4131 C-17A 305AMW
06-6166 C-17A 436AW dep

09-9211 C-17A 62AW
10-0216 C-17A 62AW
plus unknown 2x UH-60 on the ramp

Around 12.35h (so still half an hour away) a climbing C-17 was noted over the highway (enroute from Spangdahlem), any offers?

BTW, none of the local C-130's was read.

HTH,
Joris
