Büchel and Nörvenich flight activity

[Zonan]

Hello,

I want to go to either or both of these fields.
Can anyone help me with how much flights I can expect and if they are operating this week at all?
Also, can you have good views on either of the fields?

Regards, Zonan

You can expect 4-6 Tornados at Büchel and 4-6 Eurofighter at Nörvenich per mission, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Büchel is difficult from the outside, but not impossible. The aircraft at Nörvenich are too high during easterly winds in the west, but very nice and low during westwind at the east if the base.

Please check NOTAMs before you go and think about possible night flying at this time of the year.

Best spot for photos as well.

Are Fridays on these and other airbases still as bad as the used to be? Only a morning mission and then Feierabend?

That‘s right.

Wochenende!
