[Bjorn van der Flier]

SJ F-15Es now snowbirding at DM, soon to be joined by F-15SG from the 428th

[Elmar]

Stayed in a hotel near KDMA so various stops were made throughout the three days.
So no full days of spotting unfortenatly..
The CSAR exercise Angel Thunder 2015 was held during these days, which explains the Army movements, some C-130's and the Germans.
More could be seen (MV-22, H60's, H-47's) but I could not ID them..
