Thanks, have updated the list, and corrected a typo with Gazelle GBJ.

Hmm, the database doesn't list either of the quoted jets as 192 Filo assets. 93-0008 is listed as 132 Filo, last reported May 2023, and 93-0685 is listed as 191 Filo, last reported August 2022. The latter would seem more likely as it was at the same base.

93-0685 CONFIRMED

93-0685 CONFIRMED

Thanks, list updated.

Excellent list.

Is anybody able to tell me when the Austrian, German, Czech and Hungarian aircraft arrived for the meet.

Whilst in Pula area I noticed on adsb the Polish transitting the adriatic just off the east coast of Italy on Sat 30th Sep.

showing as 4084 (although this appears to be incorrect hex tie up) PLF300 and 4055 PLF305, along with 026 C295 PLF042. PLF042 returning the other way later over Croatia and a C130 1505 PLF254 over west Italy heading north.

Also on the 6th on adsb I noticed 34 (incorrect hex tie up?) HUAF11 heading home and then some hours later another HUAF11( no serial) heading back from Hungary, presume 32 as per the list

Also 6th GAFN11 southbound over the Adriatic, either EF2000 31+25 or Tornado 43+59 as per list, and on 7th over Croatia heading southwest was 7L-WF ASF10 enroute to the meet.

EDIT: Answered my own question. Ran a playback on adsb for Fri 29th Sep and saw Czech, Austrian, Swiss, Hungarian, Belgium, Portuguese so assume the others also arrived on the Friday.

Also 6th GAFN11 sothbound over the adriatic, presume 43+59 as per list, but also over Croatia heading southwest was 7L-WF ASF10 presumably enroute to the meet.

7L-WF was reported on here on Wednesday 11th
