Luftwaffe Transall in Galway?

bluecode

So I'm sitting in my living room and to my surprise what looked like a C160 Transall flew past the window. I live near Galway airport.

Not sure what I saw I checked into ATC live and 'German XXX' checked in with Shannon and was cleared to climb to FL XXX. So I made the connection and assumed that a Luftwaffe C160 Transall had just departed Galway.

But was I right? I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who saw it. But the lack of comment on any channel makes me wonder.

So did anyone else see it?

A Luftwaffe C160 callsign GAF910 arrived into Galway last tuesday and stayed overnight before departing on wednesday..

so that's what it was.... had heard mention of it on the Galway forum, figured it'd turn up here if it was something interesting....

Seen that landing last week too...... lovely hum of it!!!!!!! and what looked like very slow landing speed. If it's in again, I wonder could it be training flights????

If only Carnmore would remove that stupid hoarding around the fence..... almost impossible to get a decent picture of aircraft now on the ramp. Best way of seeing whats on the ramp now is from the motorway!!!!!
