Gando Ocean Sky 23

[eyesinthesky]

Italian, French & Spanish tankers for EART operating out of Lanzarote.

Scramble has Italian EF2000s too and there was a KC-767 at Gando today according to ADS-B

Interestingly, the Italian tanker came from Trapani (37 Stormo's base), but at FL370, so it wasn't dragging anything. After a couple of hours at Arrecife (not Gando) it continued West to Andrews AFB. It's quite possible it dropped kit and/or ground crew off in those couple of hours though?

Got buzzed by Spanish A400 T.23-13 at low-level in the NW corner of Fuerteventura around 1230, and then a more sedate let-down into Lanzarote for the French Phenix a little later!

Aside from the exercise traffic, it looks like the Guardia Civil Be350 DT.05.01(10224)/09-601 arrived at Gando recently. Didn't appear to ping on trackers. Parked to the far left of the most Northerly mil ramp, next to a C212 and close to a CN235MPA which ADSB thinks was D4.06

Hi Stuart, where is the best place to view this ramp and to see the BE350.

Cheers

Hi, views onto the SAR/visitors ramp and contents of hangar is possible from the top of Calle Practicante Casto Moros (at Ojos de Garza village, small parking lot)
or further away from El Goro village (not: a good scope for both locations needed) Good luck!

BR, Mr.ETUL

Both the French and Italian tankers did a formation pass over Caleta de Fuste, just South of Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV) around 7pm. Very impressive! Assume they carried on for an overshoot at GCFV?

Hi, sorry, just seen this! My view was from the airside viewing terrace as I waited for an ATR72 to whisk me back to Fuerteventura!
