ADS-B Exchange is a must nowadays to keep track of any interesting aircraft passing by. Years ago it was unimaginable to be able to do this - and even more on your cellphone! When I had the opportunity I made some 600mm photographs of some of the most interesting aircraft passing by. Sometimes the serial numbers could be read of the photograph; most of the times the aircraft were noted on airbases coming from of travelling to by spotters and posted on forums/ facebook. Or the aircraft were common to be flying around a certain period to acknowledge their serial numbers.

The Steadfast Noon 2022 exercise had several aircraft flying from Kleine Brogel (Belgium), Volkel (Holland) and Spangdahlem (Germany) flying missions towards the North Sea. On the 26th of September the Kleine Brogel mission aircraft could all be seen flying towards the South on RTB. These consisted of 3 USAF Lakenheath F15E Strike Eagles, 2 Luftwaffe Tornadoes and a total of 6 Belgium F16's. All flew around FL240.
