HHN- Hahn 20/03.2010

[Triple Nickel]

Hi all,

With the very nice weather last week, we decided to go on a spotters/photgraphing. We thought about Hahn, Frankfurt, or a combination DUS/MGL/CGN/LGG.
We went for Hahn, to snif some USAFE nostalgia, -hopefully- see some nice widebodies and have a typical german Schnitzel mit pommes!

The weather wasn't all that great, no sun, grey skies, windy and an occasional rain shower. So photographing was tricky, with all that wind and rain.

With landings and take off's from 2 747's, an IL-96 an MD-11 and a looooooot of Ryanair we a great fun!

I love the ryanair landing!

Damn, I go all the way to Hahn to get some non-ryanair pics..

@Ruud.

There was somebody at Hahn, on a hill (just like ''Bravo'' in NRN), and he looked just like you. With all the ryanair movements and the bad weather, I really thought i was at NRN.

Great shots Ruud!! Especially the last one!!!


Some more history:

Memories of the good old days at Hahn AB. This wooden sign marked the entrance of one of the former squadron area's at Hahn AB. The sign is still there and in fair condition.
I made a black and white of it to give it more of a nostalgic look...

The guys at 50th Tactical Fighter Wing called this squadron area ''The Mosel Inn'' - ''Hahn Air Base Germany''.

Super Bilder, Jungs! Schön, dass es in Hahn so bunt ist. Mit dem Frachtflug scheint es dort ja aufwärts zu gehen. Freut mich für Hahn.
