The conditions were perfect.

Due out very early Saturday morning according to the info on here. As you know east bound stuff can leave really early , 5-6 am.

Sods law though says you get there for five and they go at 10am!

Excellent pics!

I notice that a couple of the birds are carrying underwing travel pods that are still displaying the badge of the 52nd FW from the days of the Spangdahlem 81st FS.
