Well is that bird already in the air then?

Yesterday it performed some aerobatics at EHLE. They also stated they would be at Ede at the 18th

Anybody already got detailed information about aircraft participation to the Market Garden part? I think we can be pretty sure the two Transalls will be German, but what about the Herks? The nationality of the para jumpers may suggest there will be RAF/RNLAF/USAFE C-130s (as 'usual'), but this is no guarantee, hence my question.

At the press conference it was mentioned that the US has ,,a lot of C-130's.'' My guess is Ramstein birds.
