Hello all and thank you for watching. 

First of all we wish everyone a very merry Christmas, and happy holidays. This week we bring one of the classics. The NATO Boeing E-3 Sentry, also known as AWACS, departing out of Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base. The modified Boeing 707, is equipped with the "Airborne Warning And Control System" which is unique for the E-3 and the E-767. According to sources this plane was built in 1984, making it more than 32 years old. Spotting at Geilenkirchen is not very difficult, and we've never experienced any problems there at all. We encourage everyone to go there if they get the chance, but you must be patient. Very few planes depart or land every day, so it's limited how much action you'll be able to get. When you get some action it is of course worth it the wait! 

We'll be treating you with 2 weeks next week, coming up to the end of 2016. We hope you all will enjoy! Any questions make sure to ask them. We always love reading through your comments! Safe flying!
