Grtz Rene

As far as I know PH-MAA is a spare

[mirage 69]

Yes I know but

Arriving this afternoon for a 3-days stay:

D-HHTS EC-135 ADAC (spare helo)

That was for the period from 1 till 3 november....but is the PH-ELP back as LL3 or the PH-MAA....?

Hi Ernesto, spoke to the pilot when he filed his flightplan. According to him "the PH-ELP was on maintenance and the D-HHTS is the spare Lifeline helo"

D-HHTS returned to Germany last saturday.

[Copter]

A few minutes ago I saw an EC.135 flying over Noord-Limburg.

It was flying in the direction of Eindhoven / Volkel. Maybe this is the ANWB helicopter on it's way back from maintenance.

lifeliner-3 is going to land at the maxima medisch centrum in eindhoven now.
You proborably saw that one.

(notes: once again, the ‘KLu Open Dagen’ proved to be one of the most important military aviation events in Western Europe. In spite of a reduced quantity and quality of visiting aicraft compared to previous years, some patience and good luck made up for quite an interesting experience.
Thunderstorms and heavy rain forecasted for the arrival day plus closure of the spotters corner were not the best preconditions for a successful trip. Luckily, it stayed almost dry all day and good organization of the Spotting Group Volkel allowed me to participate in the spotters day with access to the base. There, quite a lot of patience was required until some really impressive multi-ship hardware could be logged: first the Spanish EF-18s performing breath-taking overshoots before landing, than another couple of Swiss Hornets. Two German Tornados and two Dutch Cougars were of interest too as were some single-ships of East European aicraft. After a very fast walk ahead of the official base closure, the real highlights were observed outside the base: a second Rafale, two Super Etendards and two A-10s.
As I had missed the Air Power Demo so far and due to the other aviation event at Geilenkirchen I took the risk and made another trip to Volkel on the Saturday in spite of the bad weather and the large crowds and traffic problems expected. Luckily, thanks to a very friendly Dutch family, I could park my car on private ground not far from the Runway 24 approach and spent some interesting hours quite undisturbed outside of the base together with my little son. Also, thunderstorms stayed away from the airbase until finally putting a fast end to the display of the Patrouille de France.
Highlights of this day included the mass-launch and base-attack of 15 based F-16s plus operations of two Dutch AH-64s, two CH-47s and two Cougars as well as the Turkish Stars and Hunter pair displays and departure of the Breitling team. A very nice surprise were quite a lot of departures witnessed after the thunderstorm and end of the airshow: two French Rafales and Super Etendards, two Spanish F-18s, three Dutch Alouettes and three PC-7s. All in all, some good spotting work rewarded by quite an nice log!)
