Hi all,

Not much happening today. I think there are only departures today and zero arrivals.

Is the Türkish C-160D still on base??

So the base is almost empty now.

Cheers,

Strangely enough half the airfield was cleared out between Saturday night 22h30 and Sunday 10h00. When we arrived at the base in the morning, the AMC platform was missing about 8 C-17s that had been on the ramps when Quiet Hours started on Saturday night at 22h00.

The Turkish C-160D was still parked next to the Hercs.

cheers,
Marijn and Richard.
