Planefag Report - 5th June
Part 1
2-Planes. 2-JSEG was headed home and 2-RNWL was flitting between Rotterdam and Jersey again.
Part 2
2-LIVE was also headed home to Guernsey and a varied selection of military stuff was around. The Swiss seemed to be taking part in the exercise and resisted the urge to go off-piste.
Part 3
Kiwis went to RAF Fairford, Valor37 left Saarbrucken to head to Mildenhall and the Swedes left Luxembourg.
Part 4
The Irish Air Corps were about and so did the Germans. An imteresting 'QQ' serial number plane was in the UK (QinetiQ).
Part 5
Danes, Another shot of the Kiwis, Germans and a US Army flight Duke59.
Jersey, Guernsey and now Luxembourg have become the places to visit. I could use some help from Euro Planefags to watch this lot. I'm trying to pick the 'unusual' out of a NATO exercise and it's not easy at times.
I might be suffering from conformation bias here, but last night I mention NYAW (New York American Water).
2-RNWL piqued my interest and I went hunting and found this. More stuff related to water.

Determination of the optimal normal water level of reservoirs (RNWL) was investigated, incorporating environmental ecology as a primary consideration. RNWL constitutes a relatively significant eigen value of any water conservancy project. In the present study, a four-step method based on a mathematical programming model and suitable for RNWL decision making was developed and applied to the water conservancy project of the Songyuan backwater dam in China. System analysis, correlation analysis, significance testing, principal component analysis, sensitivity analysis, and system optimisation theory are used in the solution process. In this study, various factors that impact the economic viability, engineering characteristics, environmental and urban ecology are considered for holistic optimisation. The study shows that the proposed four-step method may provide a feasible quantitative form of support for RNWL decision making.
