The planned formation of TLwG 71 Eurofighters 30+29 and 30+40 plus A400M 54+11 had to be cancelled ten minutes before the jets reached the base after the QRA (callsign EA01 and 02) got some technical issues and had to return to Laage.

Also on base was KC-130J 55+05 of BATS Rhin/Rhein which arrived on 4.9. from Celle.

Another Tanker Hercules is visiting this week after 55+04 and 55+05 with BATS Rhin/Rhein KC-130J 55+06 arrived on 6.9.
So all three KC-130J were on base this week and even on a single day!
