Hope everything's OK
2 flights we were watching seem to have landed.
-
German AF GAF676 from Berlin probably landed at Saarbrucken near the French border. I presume that was NOT an evacuation of Merkel unless subsequently crossing the border by land vehicle or civilian transport. Will keep monitoring Berlin airspace.
-
2-RTBS flew from Isle of Jersey to Athens. Not positive it landed in Athens but it did change course, descend, and slow, suggesting a landing occurred.

-
For those new here, 2-xxxx planes are registered on the island of Guernsey (one of the channel islands owned by the British Crown) as "military" although they are private civilian planes, bypassing customs and immigration checks as they cross international borders. Planefags are monitoring them for suspicious activity, i.e. transport of contraband.
-
The flight drills over the AF Academy in Colorado Springs are a daily occurrence, of no particular consequence to planefags unless there's a major change from the daily routine.
Cobham Aviation provides contract services to the UK military for pilot training. Just as ATAC provides in the US for American pilot training. They fly foreign military aircraft in drills so our pilots can become familiar with their flight characteristics. You can safely ignore ATAC and Cobham-badged a/c.
Have seen something interesting somewhere south of the Mediterranean today. Will post later after mission complete.
Appreciate your service. Thank you.
