Hello,
As 2020 is approaching, here's my final spotting trip of the year.
We took our chance on a 3.5 hour drive to USAF base Ramstein, near Saarbrücken, Germany.
Military police on the base is very strict with prohibiting ground photography, but if you are careful enough and keep yourself out of the open, you get the chance to get a look on the base.
The police did show up once to tell everyone we had to stay at least 1 meter from the fence and never photograph on the base, but yet a guy next to us had a 2 meter high ladder and was extremely obvious in photographing on the base so everyone could see him. After the Boeing 707 E-8 departed we went to another location because we didn't want to be associated with this guy as the police might get problems with us too

8. Really sad, but this was my "sharpest" image of the arrival. I still like it, but it's such a shame it's not sharp...

9. Luckily the arrival of Valor29 made up for the bad picture above
