Mystery planes landing at 3 a.m.

[Emmi Smith]

It's a true mystery.  The airport is closed during the night.  But every night I am woken by one or two planes coming into land around 3 - 3.30  am, although this week it has been a  bit later around 4.00a.m.  I asked a Guardia friend of mine and he had no idea, and he in turn asked his mate who works at the airport.  They knew nothing.  Short of staying up all night to take photos or a video, I cannot prove I hear these, but I do!!!
Is anyone else aware of this?

I can not say we hear them every night Em, but yes aircraft do land in the early hours, and when i asked my Guardia mate all I got was a Spanish  shrug and " probably military "

Ha ha, Emmi is going to be lying awake at night now picturing all these planes loaded with drugs flying in at stupid o’clock 🤣😂🤣😂

Yep, too right......   and one of these days or rather nights, I WILL set my alarm for 2.30 am and be prepared to sit in the garden for two hours until I get some plane acitivity !!! Bonkers, or what?

Emmi, I have a mate who lives in Lebanon, he could probably get you a missile launcher, that way you would have absolute proof you are not dreaming

Flippin' heck, that's a bit extreme, I'm hoping s short video will do the job Thanks for the offer though, may need it for my noisy neighbour when I finally get totally ***** off with him!

Hasn’t Fuerte been designated a little while ago as the overnight emergency Canaries airport taking over from Tenerife ? Still, I can’t believe that would lead to regular arrivals

What time of day or night did it land?

Perhaps you've answered your own question Emmi ........ in both threads

Could it be the army? Can't find any info about it online but I remember hearing a plane to fly above our heads in the middle of the night, once.
