Did you ever wonder if "Air Mobility Command Grey (AMC Grey)" works well? This picture of the C-5M SuperGalaxy is straight out of the Camera at 3000mm, unedited. If there was no contrail, or it would be flying at non contrail levels, it would be "invisible" to the naked eye.

This bird-shaped observation drone is recharging its batteries in the sun.

Good Morning!

Eurofighters showing off over ETNN

I have my sincere doubts that the Egypitans managed to push the C-130 to FL490.

Very unusual, a train of three four digit priority C-17 just left Mildenhall, to join up on course with a four digit C-17 that is trailed by a tanker out of CONUS.

Hm

Took that one without triggering a Traffic Alert.

Fantastic stuff, if you like that kind of stuff youtu.be/iBaFVVRWupA

I have tested the latest CMO patch on Missle Dynamics. It seems severely bugged, because even with missle doctrine set to NEZ, they do not work "at all". cc @dimitrisd.bsky.social Here is the Tacview output. www.youtube.com/watch?v=98dN...

Pakistan announcing it is expecting an attack by India very soon and it will respond accordingly.

A british P-8 made sure that Isle of Man is free of RU Subs :)

Attention Europe, our "best, most smartest brilliant Friend" is incoming

The Eye in the Sky. NATO Power!

The new Oval-Office Decorations are golden painted styrofoam pieces, made in China.

Our beloved eye in the Sky, LX-N90442, is returning from a mission over the baltics to shield NATO Airspace against Russia. #nato #osint #aviation

Rough Theorycrafting: If the US would use B-1B stationed at GUAM, with a hypothetical 24x JASSM load, they would need two AAR on the way in (red) and one on the return leg (yellow). The first inbound could be done by Australian A330 MRTT, the other two by Diego Garcia KC-135. #usaf #iran #osint

She is just big boned. A400M of German Air Force. #airbus #nato #osint

A war in the middle east is almost unavoidable at this stage. Let me elaborate: The situation right now: - Iran wants nukes, Trump and Israel will not allow this to happen (I am with Trump+Bibi on this one) -Oil around 60$, due to "Tarriffs Genius", this heavily affects Russian War Revenue

Thats quite the attitude for a public transmission by a USAF C-17 on a priority mission out of Al-Udeid: "GREAT AND IN A COUPLE OF DAYS WE WILL GET A FRANTIC CALL TO PLEASE COME PICK UP SOME OF YOU TRY TO BE HELPFUL" @thebaldgeek.bsky.social

Two turkish A400M seemingly on the way to CONUS. I do not think that they will have the legs to make it to USA without a refueling stop. Not very common. Anyone have an idea? S-400 to US?https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=4b8214,4b820d

Quite the extraordinary activity this morning in Belgium over the Camp de Beverloo training grounds. A whole lot of F-16 and an A400M all low doing stuff. #nato #aviation #milav

Breaking: Trump successfully eliminates Capital Gains tax for most Investors. #trump #blackmonday

The first time I managed to snap this type of Aircraft, on an actual mission too. KC-46 Pegasus on the way back to USA, about 80km away. #usaf #nato #milav #aviation

C-5M Super Galaxy Priority Mission RCH1858 on its way to CONUS. #nato #usaf #aviation #nlspot

Impossible picture, because it should be invisible, right? 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 #nato #aviation #ramsteinflag

A400M doing some wild low level flying around its home airport. Must be a spectacular sight. #luftwaffe #nato #osint #aviation

Dutch Army Engineers evening crossing the largest river in Europe, Rhine, while civilian traffic continues. This is done each year in memory of "Operation Plunder", leading to the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. #army #engineers #nato www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGHh...

RUMINT suggests that USA may get control of Bagram (at least temporarily) again. This would be a huge strategical move, and one could assume Taliban would allow strikes against Iran etc. This is one thing I did not have on my 2025 Bingo card AT ALL.

Under „Country“, Trump appears to have recognized Taiwan As Country. A strong deviation of the one china policy and likely just a result of incompetnce. Let’s See how China Spins this. #usa #taiwan #china #trump

This is my Highlight Reel of #RamsteinFlag Day1 and 2. #nato #osint #aviation youtu.be/8xNQ-AkQZJo

Overall Tanker/AEW Map of Ramstein Flag 2025 today. There are anywhere between 50-75 further planes involved that do not show up on trackers. #ramsteinflag #nato #osint

More Aerial Refueling in one Picture than the entire Russian Airforce can do. #nato #ramsteinflag

I love this shot from Ramstein Flag 2025. This was a four ship Rafale Takeoff, all with full burners. The shot is in focus, but there is so much heat, you dont see a damn thing. #nato #rafale #ramsteinflag

Well, I guess I forgot to manually set focus on this one. Flight of four F-35 getting ready for take-off at Ramstein Flag 2025.
