Ramstein, Germany June 2024

two days in Ramstein for the Air to Air exercise for NATO members. This large scale exercise saw over 100 sorties over the course of a single day. A large variety of fighters flew in from neighbouring countries in order to participate.

Norwegian F-35 in a rush to get up there. Even doing a barrel roll in the process.

Dutch Air Force F-35 performing a low pass over the runway at Ramstein.

Aviano based 31st Fighter Wing F-16C colour bird landing at Ramstein.

Luftwaffe Eurofighter 2000 31+48 landing at Ramstein.

Luftforsvaret F-35 landing at Ramstein after her sortie in some dramatic light. These are based at Ørland. A fairly unique part of the Norwegian F-35’s is the drag chute housing above the exhaust, here clearly visible on 5288.

another exotic participant in the form of two Finnish Air Force F-18C Hornets. This is HN-456 landing at Ramstein.

Dutch Air Force F-35 Lightning II landing at Ramstein. F-018 was one of three Dutch F-35’s present.

probably one of the last chances to see the Netherlands Air Force’s F-16 in operation. J-020 coming in to land at Ramstein. After the summer it will all be over sadly…

this looks like an air to air shot with Danish Air Force F-16 E-194, but was taken from the ground.

Taken from a very long distance, this Dover C-5 Super Galaxy taking off from Ramstein on an early morning.

This C-130J Hercules is part of the 123rd Airlift Wing (Kentucky Air Guard), seen here departing from Ramstein AFB.
