Ramstein (ETAR/RMS) - 2008

[Flanker27]

Hi Niels,

it's not only Ascension Day, but Labour Day as well. As both are considered festive holidays in Germany, it's pretty safe to assume that this day will be treated as a sunday.

Bas

Is a sunday more quiet than the other weekdays?

Are you sure about this one? That's an MC-130 serial. "825" should be 63-7825 according to my info.

Sorry, you're right. Thanks for reporting the typo, and falcx thanks for the additions.

Grt, Mike.

[pipichantal]

anybody read the 135's ?

[joost]

I made a stop 6.30-9.00

C17 01-0190 and three KC-135's of which two left .

GOLD 72 (57-1488) and 82 (62-3506) flew as support of MAZDA 21-25/31-34 yesterday. The tankers flew out of RS

Also GOLD 62 (57-1473) flew as support (MAZDA 11-15). I was still in proces of waking up so I have not heard this one. But Likely this one also flew out of Ramstein. (currently GOLD62 is flying over the Ocean back home)

Grtz

In Kindsbach ( Spot 5) the Italian restaurant is no longer called 'Da Toni' but 'Da Francesco'.

Already been changed in Airfiled Guide.

Hello all!

Is there anyone who can provide me with the serials of the C-17's which were present 03-05-'08 early evening, and also the KC-135. I took pictures but due to heathaze and
a stupid high ISO setting (1600 by accident ) the serials are unreadable (except for the C-5's).
And I also like to know the serial of the C-17 that departed around 1615h local.

Many thanks in advance,

Arco de Heer
