That doesn't bother me, cause i've missed them like many others due to the volcanic ash =censored=.....

Have you had any problems with the police since you arrived? I'm curious to find out how the authorities will react to lots of photographers & spotters at the fence for the next 2 weeks.

not at all at my present position almost opposite to the tower but 200 metres away from the fence. Mil security just passed by a few minutes ago inside the fence, stopped and looked but no problems so far. By the way, it's not the first Tiger Meet over here and the last one attracted also quite a lot of people also outside of the base. So I woul not expect any problems as long as according to "normal" rules of behaviour ...

[Tigerspoon]

Hey Sascha
how was/ is the weather today!?!?!

Thanks for that, hopefully some muppet doesn't mess things up then

Hey Sascha
how was/ is the weather today!?!?!

still no problems with the security and still in same position:

Weather: around 24 Celsius becoming cooler after passing of a light cold-front with no rain but scattered clouds, mostly sunny, very clear air, wind moderate from the south-south-west (so runway 28 in use all day long), wind now from the north-west and becoming stronger, probably same tomorrow

Okay thx. Forecast for tomorrow looks okay so far. See ya there in the morning hours.
I've just checked again, but nothing new so far.

So we will see, what tomorrow will bring!
