Hello,

LX780/781 HB-IYS "Zürich shopping paradise"

Greetings,

Yesterday, while contrail watching, spotted a nice C17 transport.
Its T-shaped tail nicely projecting on its own contrail.

More intriguingly, this 9th and 11th of May, round noon, I spotted a German G222 / c27 type of plane, circling low over the Mechelen area,
surely departed from BRU - any ideas what it was looking for ?

I think you're looking for the German C-160 that has been flying around for a couple of days? If I remember correctly, they have been doing VFR training and touch & goes.

Thanks for the info & for putting me right !
