Dear friends,
there are generally and frequently NATO meetings. The recent meetings are of course in the current context. Many aircraft movements pass over Ramstein.
Therefore, rare guests have been sighted here in recent weeks: The A-10C Thunderbold II made a stopover here.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF).
The A-10 was designed to provide close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces - it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.

You will also find a C-17 of the Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC).
The Strategic Airlift Capability is a multinational initiative aimed at providing participating nations with access to military strategic airlift. The ten NATO nations involved are Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and the United States of America and the two Partnership-for-Peace (PfP) nations Finland and Sweden.
