79-0095 no mks was noted flying as the lead in a flight of four (one with "IN" mks) on Feb 1, 2012.

Anyone for the three "FT" C-130 on the active ramp? Were parked close to the HC-130J 09-0108/OT.

The BD A-10 we read on the 30th as 79-120/BD.

On the 29th we read one extra FT C-130 (65-0)983. 2 SH-60's came in this day. We have no serials, anyone?
Also a few of the H-53's that we saw the day before left in the morning (7 in total).
We did read a H-46 that came in, the 156348. A C-32 left at 1300 02-5001.

Very nice picture of this A-10.

I am going there next month, so I have to ask you Dietmar, where were you standing and with how much mms? Coords are just fine. Any problem with police and so?

Hi Piet,

I was there last year for a few days. No problems at all with the local police. They came by, chatted a bit and went on. Only one side (not the amarc, but the opposite) is not that easy to access (in my opinion). AMARC side was the easiest one....

For the mm, I would guess (pure guess) that 300mm should be sufficient.

Good luck,
Oz

Jawel, dit is de final voor runway 12. Via South Alvernon Way kom je via de vangrail (guardrail) op deze plek.

Ik zal dit weekend proberen om enkele foto's te uploaden van deze plek.
