Re: Bucharest Friday 1.12.23 Great Union Day flypast

This was seen from near a cemetery off Strad Travan Vuia N44.556914, E026.094710. The view from here, having decreased since 2019.

Re: Berlin ILA 23-05-2014

Re: ILA 20-25 May 2014

Exercise Willfire had in its composition on the 23.05 the following:
Tornado 43+46, 44+23, 44+79, 45+09
CH-53G 84+45
C-160D 50+67
A300 MRTT 10+27
Lynx 83+19
Tiger 84+14, 84+15

I didn't catch the serials of the Typhoons flying during Willfire on the 23rd, so I would be grateful for them.
