The first flight with the Romanian C-27J and a Dutch C-130 approached the field at about 13:30. The flight landed a few times, and the Spartan turned around on the runway to take off again right in front of us:

G-275 C-130H-30 336 Sqn RNLAFRogue3 and 4 (The AMI C-130 and another RNLAF C-130) flew to the Marnewaard while Rogue1 and 2 were practicing at Twente. After about 45 minutes, the flights switched places. Rogue1 and 2 made their way up north, and 3 and 4 came to Twente.
One of the approach methods the flights used was to come in from the north, cross the runway, and go into a right hand break. After a few of those approaches around the middle of the field (which was too far away for me to take decent shots off) the rogue 3 formation switched to an approach a bit more to the west, making it possible to catch the RNLAF C-130 during the break:
