AJ42 now visual with "commless aircraft" at 9000ft. The scramble is trying to read the tailnumber, but not succesfull now.

*edit* commless aircraft identified as a white/red Cessna 172.
tailnumber is "D-EBAA"

*edit2* scramble = AJ42 and AJ67
KLS Beech Baron "KLM7932" is now also trying to make contact with the Cessna.

Seems people in Harlingen are lucky since the aircraft crashed near the village (53 11 06 N 005 17 37 E ;credit milspotters)

Not only lucky in Harlingen... Also here in Leeuwarden: the Cessna flew straight over my house with two F-16 next to it.... I have never seen anything like this over Leeuwarden before...

Last word is that there seems to be a survivor...
