D-ICBB circling my area

This plane has been circling my hometown for hours, each time flying a circuit of a few minutes at high speed, turning somewhere near leiden(souchiro might have seen it to) and then coming back. I dont know what it was doing or why, nor have i been able to find any information about it. It looks like it has flown away because i cant hear nor see it anymore, although the weather is worsening so that might have caused it to leave.

Its a german based C340A.

Perhaps just practicing turning on a point?

Maby, but why overhead this area, the only nearby airfield is valkenburg wich is only a glider field nowadays, and the scenery really isnt that interesting for such a long time.

It seems to have several openings in the bottom of the fuselage. Probably doing aerial survey work. Perhaps they're updating Google Earth in your area. ;)
