AWAC

[White Cap]

Hello all,

I was walking the dogs (again) last night, 21:30 hours, 21 July 04. On my return to my house in Wemb, I saw a low flying aircraft coming from the South. As it got nearer I saw four engines. It wasn't until I was nearly home that I saw the the radar dome on top. It then turn left towards Kevealer. What a great sight

Couldn't get any details as I didn't have my Binos with me

Did anybody else see it

Cheers,
White Cap

Yes I did. Around half past nine, the AWACS flew over southern Kevelaer, I think from the south to the north.

Hello,
yesterday in the evening the awac flew from south to north(i live in Geldern). Than it turned around somewhere and came back right over my house. I saw the four engines and the 707-Style, but I had no camera!
Does anybody know, where it comes from and when the next comes over the Niederrhein?

Hi,

also wissen woher der Vogel kam tue ich nicht, aber ich vermute mal, daß es eine NATO AWACS aus Geilenkirchen (GKE) war.



Hoffentlich glauben jetzt nicht wieder alle Flughafen Gegner, daß Niederrhein von lauten, vierstrahligen Flugzeugen bedient wird...

Aber es ist doch immer wieder schön eine 707 im Flug zu sehen, oder?

Gruß,

A few years ago (when Laarbruch and Brüggen where still active) these planes could be seen allmost every week above the region around Laarbruch.

Now I haven't seen one in the sky for a long time ...

The NATO AWACS are flying over Venray on a regular base. They can be seen at least onces a month at a height of +/- 500m.
