New mission as an IRINI asset for a German Navy Lockheed P-3C (reg. 60+08 callsign GNY4530).

The aircraft is departed directly from NAS Nordholz in northern Germany at 09:43 CET and after having made a stopover in Munich from 10:55 to 12:15 it departed southwards.

The Orion arrived in the operation area at 14:22 and left the area at 16:52. So a mission of over 12 hours but of these only two and a half hours operational.
