If CLEAN61 is a KC-10 or KC-135, I'd say: yes.

Read on FlugzeugForum:

"Sorry, but not correct. 61 WAS able to give 100k of fuel to them. The problem was 62/63 were unable to take off. Therefore they did not have sufficient fuel to reach the east coast of the US. Anyway, they landed Spang, that's what counts..."

Not entirely sure what you're saying. Point is that these short deployments are as effective as longer ones as it shows that within only a short timeframe the European defence strength can be brought up to speed. Taking time to practice with the European partners is only secondary, it's the deployability that counts and which is widely publicized. (Not to mention that everyone in the European theatre of operations has become "weaker and weaker".)

What are you trying to say by this statement?

Rumor is now that 5x LN F-15 will arrive tomorrow 12sep15 at Spang.
They will fly from Spang for an exercise which will be held at Buchel next week.
For the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline

Sorry, it's off topic but do you know which exercise will take place in Büchel?
Is it Roter Falke 15?
