Two US Marine Corps C-9Bs.  Used by the USN/USMC as a troop/vip transporter.  Caught them myself, the db has them as 161529 and 161530.  The USN/USMC C-9s have been regular visitors to europe have seen them regulalry but getting rarer now that they are being replaced by the 737/C-40. 

Pure speculation but possibly supporting the USMC CV-22 deployment in Spain.

Albacete is only a couple of hours away from us here in Spain and is one of the bases being used for Trident Juncture and EK01 and myself will be going to see if there are any interesting visitors.  http://www.airn.nato.int/page42413934.aspx

We will also intend going soon to see some of the visitors for the regular NATO TLP flying courses at Albacete https://www.facebook.com/groups/448078895363954/?fref=ts
