So we set off towards Prague Czechia early on Tuesday March 1 to head for my first trip on the eurotunnel. All went well heading for Calais on the 09.30.
We joined the Motorway heading towards Ostend then down to Brussels . We did do a circuit of the airport but very little could be seen. We then headed to Frankfurt
past Cologne without stopping although i made 7 from the autobahn including T-056 Airbus A.330 which passed right overhead.
We are staying at the Moxy hotel there on the journey back.
We then headed to Frankfurt for an overnight .We had booked the Sheraton which although advertising rooms with a runway view they are not great.
Our room on the 8th floor room 8053 was probably as good as it gets .
Views of runways 07R/25L and 07C/25C are good .
No views of 07L/25R the short northern runway or runway 18/36 .
I did make a few though from our room including ET-AYA , JA877A , 9V-SNC ,
The next morning i had a couple of hours and made 9V-SNA , D-ALFD/G , B322Y , N26960 , A9C-ND , and about 15 D- heavies which do use the runway you can see.
Then onto Nurembourg for what was meant to be a quick drive round.
American troops everywhere and a Chinook on a low loader going where ? 07-08744.
On the ground were N846AX B,777 of Omni N2749U B.777 UNITED and N649GT B.767 Atlas.
To the eastern end is a car park so we bought sandwiches and went there.
We had just parked when C.17 06-6154/TRAVIS arrived at 14.00 then 07-7180/CHARLESTON C.17 14.20 then 99-0059 C.17 at 15.00.
Mr . Biden is ramping it up ..
Also made 9H-CXA , 9H-TJF , B.737s.
An interesting end to our second day . We are now on the non spotting part of the trip in Prague staying with my step son far enough from the troubles ?
I hope the Sheraton info helps someone any info on the Moxy at Cologne would be good..
