Does anyone know why these military transport planes are flying low behind one another. They belong to different countries ( Poland, UK, Italy, the Netherlands, USA, Belgium,…)

3. Part of a NATO exercise.

4. My guess, a NATO formation exercise, a photoshoot or both

9. just had 3 Belgian military helicopters fly over my work in Geel

   WOLF01, WOLF02 and WOLF03

10. Nice to see them fly over when you are working 🙂

11. On our westcoast they have been conducting exercises with C130’s all week.

12. This is part of the exercise Falcon Leap 2022!
    A 2 week exercise mainly in the Netherlands to remember Operation Market Garden from WW2.
    Today’s para drops are on the Hechtelse Heide near Hechtel-Eksel/Leopoldsburg.

13. They are flying 2-300 meters above my house (Keerbergen) the past couple of months. Scares me every time.

14. Last monday i saw one flying over Brasschaat really low and wondered why. We have a military airfield here but too small for such a plane.

15. You just blew their cover. Russia will be all over them now.

16. Multiple A-400M’s have been passing throughout the days – at least 3 days in a row now, here in Wetteren.
    Flight radar tagged one of them as GRZLY02.
    They have been busy.

17. Saw them fly over Gent earlier this week

18. Not sure WHY but isnt Kleine Brogel somewhere pretty close to where they are on that map? That would be why they’re so low, I guess? Landing or taking off?

19. It’ll be the dry run for the aircover for the royal funeral in London (with 100+ heads of state present).

20. Reminder, everyone- – really not a great idea to talk about troop movements or activities. Published stuff is one thing, but please refrain from listing places and types of aircrafts

21. It was 8 of em

22. Sanicole air show

23. NATO Operation ‘Falcon Leap 2022’

    On Saturday there is abig Paradrop at Ginkelse Heath, Ede NL.
    78 years Commemoration Market Garden.

    At 1250L and 1450L there were paradrops.

24. There goes the element of surprise…

25. Nato plane Orgy

26. It’s mating season

27. it’s not the airshow, it’s the Falcon Leap:
    https://www.tvl.be/nieuws/operatie-falcon-leap-dropt-750-parachutisten-op-hechtelse-heide-125683

    basically some military airdrops from a few different countries working together and using each other’s equipment to improve collaboration.

28. We did see a few parachute drops around Hechtel-Eksel today. Exercise I guess?

29. There is an event in the netherlands this weekend.

    [Here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/EasmGAjZwAgs2bh86?g_st=ic) there will be an air show and they will drop marines as commemoration of operation [market garden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Market_Garden).

    There were some training rounds this week.

30. I’m not complaining :p

31. It has begun…Nice knowing y’all.

32. omg genk ik woon daar close

33. this is so funny to see this as they fly past my school building, we get a good look at them all the time looking through the window!

34. Hey, that’s right above where I live!

    Probably some NATO exercise or “secret” military delivery to Poland -> Ukraine (:

    Edit: my friend is a paratrooper, and I remember him posting a photo of a mass parachuting exercise this week. So could be that as well!

35. You should check the NATO borders, there are at all times cargo-planes from different NATO countries flying up & down. They fly on the radar as usual. But what you don’t see is the jets they are fuelling.
