Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
Hey there Gents. I will be there with 1X US CH-47F from 12th CAB right here in Germany. Looking forward to what looks to be an amazing weekend ahead!
Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
That's realy great news! Looking forward inspecting you aircraft from close by.
Was also hoping for one of your examples at RIAT this year but maybe next year
See you in Geilenkirchen!

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
Your CH-47F would also fit nicely in the static display at Fairford 
. Hope they will contact you yet. It's not impossible indeed! And if not, then maybe next year. i'm looking forward to Geilenkirchen now. Thank you for your support!

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
keep in mind we have other commitments as well, more of the operational type, so we may not always be available. Trust me, I would love to be the guy on airshow duty. I got lucky with GeilenkirchenOscarM wrote:Your CH-47F would also fit nicely in the static display at Fairford

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
At this point it is unknown whether the US CH-47F will arrive on Thursday the 29th or Friday the 30th. Personally I am hoping on Thursday so I can spend the day Friday catching all of the other arrivals! I will do my best to update.
Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
I would propose you do a flyby at Eindhoven airbase in the Netherlands first and then proceed to Geilenkirchen 
haha.
Just joking. It's great you will attend the Geilenkirchen airshow with one of your beasts

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
Will there be a flying display on the Saturday and Sunday, or just a static?

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
the last edition in 2012 (is it really that long ago? 
) had no flying activities at all during the weekend, so no departures on sunday either.

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
What can I expect of the spotter facilities on Friday.
As I remember of last time the spotters stood far of the runway and taxiing planes often did not pass the spotters as they took a shorter way to the static.
Can somebody give some info?
Regards
Peter

Re: Geilenkirchen open house 1-2 July
I am considering to visit the Airshow, as I understand no Flying activities at all.
How about the static is it even possible to make decent pictures? Looking at previous events at Geilenkirchen it looks difficult making decent pictures. Anyone?
Thanks
