Oh btw, we read 95_48 on one of the Apaches parked beside the C-5. Maybe(!) this was 85548?

EvD, the 8 Apaches that arrived were parked outside. Visible from the 08 landing where we were that moment. Somewhere near tha hangar next to the one with the Chinooks.

The C-20C 85-0049 from the PAG might have been on it's way to Afghanistan, to support Obama during his visit to Afghanistan. So perhaps it will make another fuelstop on it's way back.

Anyway, it was another highlight of this very interesting day at Ramstein.

By the way, all four Blackhawks that arrived this day carried a B/3-159 Avn badge on the nose (blue eagle).

Sorry, only nine choppers were parked in this line in the morning as well in the evening. Edited it in above log (I think this makes a lot of you guys happy, a relief you didn't miss a Blackhawk.....).

You mean B/3-158Avn in stead of 159Avn.

As for the Helos:
...
2 Chinooks 8.70 and .074 were towed from a hangar into C-5A 00445 that departed 1730-ish but returned after an hour or so
EvD

Are you sure? There is no CH-47 with ending 074 in Europe.
10-08074 is in Savannah.
87-00074 is in Ft. Rucker, Alabama

8.70 is 09-08070.
