Ospreys over Budapest, Hungary

Post by Levente » Tue Oct 29, 2019 2:41 pm

So here is the story
Two Osprey came for an excersise to Hungary last week from RAF Mildenhall.
But on monday the US Embassy in Hungary informed the public that
both aircraft will do a flypast over the city. So everyone in the spotter community
got the buzz and tried to figure it out where to make the photos.
Since it was raining and heavy clouds nothing special, but maybe it was a one
chance for everyone. Here it is:

Nice photo report concerning the weather. However there is no information about why the flypast or where in the report.

There is in the opening post - over Budapest, and on an exercise. Flypast is probably part of a PR opportunity. What more do you want?

No info was made publicly why they were here.
Personally I know, that SOF persons from Szolnok were on board on one of the Ospreys and VIP+media on the second.
If I have to quess, it was a PR flight.

Nice report and photos.
It's a shame the weather wasn't better for you.

Sorry, if I wanted members to make wild guesses based on probability, I would ask them. However, I asked a member of this forum direct who I have exchanged information previously with.
