United States Air Force U-2S 80-1096:
Our next video is going to be from the 2025 Royal International Air Tattoo, which will also feauture a U-2S. Last year, the U-2S 80-1096 performed a flyby and a short display one day before the actual show.

NATO E-3A AWACS LX-N90450, LX-N90456 & LX-N90459
The NATO E-3A Component is based at Geilenkirchen Air Base (GKE) in western Germany. The whole NATO E-3A fleet is based here and operates and coordinates all E-3A flights across the world. The missions are mainly flown from the Air Base itseld, but once in a while one or several E-3A´s get deployed to crisis regions or other Air Bases across the globe.

USAF MC-130H Combat Talon II 89-0283:
This particular aircraft was used by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) for Infiltration, Exfiltration, Resupply of SOF, Electronic Warfare and Terrain Following missions. All MC-130H´s have been retired a little over two years ago, luckily I have been able to capture this MC-130H shortly before its retirement at Davis Monthan Air Base in Arizona.

Russian Air Force IL-20M RF-95980:
This heavily converted IL-18 now goes by IL-20M (NATO reporting name: Coot-A) and is a electronic intelligence and reconnaissance aircraft, which was introduced in the late 1960´s. The IL-20M flies typical reconnaissance missions like Interception of enemy communications, detection of enemy radar and radio sources & monitoring of electromagnetic spectrum activity in the area.
