F-HFKF according to planeFinder

I heard it on 133.325 ask for an overshoot of RW 20 and an approach to 02

The track appears to originate from the Frankfurt area via Liege or Maestricht

Edit : destination looks to be Lille

Possibly taken over the TCA route that was contracted out to (DHL?) a few years back - pax for the E-3 sim maybe?

The same aircraft has been in and out of Albacete in support of the NATO E-3 that is based there for the current TLP.

Xingus used to come in on a Monday with crews for sim training and pick them up on Thursday for return.

So most likely the NATO TCA shuttle replacement as per Dinger's comment. Guess we can expect to see it more often in the future if that's the case.

They were using a French registered Fokker 70 or 100 on one occasion last year, while they were still at Coningsby. I assume that was related to the NATO AEWComp

Fly Kiss have now ceased operations with their last services to be flown on the 26th May so I would expect something different again on the Waddo run.
