USMC F18C/D

Re: Unusual test shape at Helendale?

Covered extensively in Dreamland resort discussion forum under thoughts, apparently a genuine video.
Most likely some calibration model.

Re: F-117s

Where are the serials on the aircraft? There does not appear a serial on the tail,only the TR code in white or red, have not noticed one on the inside of the nose gear door, is it on the outside? Just seen a picture on Twitter, 841 is painted on front edge of the inside of I think the bomb bay doors...

Re: UK G7 2021- Tittle Tattle

Would only need to refuel enough for the following sector,to LHR, on top of the mildenhall newquay sector, probably looking at around 50,000kg of fuel which after the Newquay sector I believe is well within the landing weight, so no Need to dump fuel.

Re: UK G7 2021- Tittle Tattle

Suspect early morning flight for a late afternoon arrival, meet and greet and then overnight to London.
Meet Boris Thursday morning then back to AF1 to Newquay ready for meeting the next day.
Sunday AF1 to London,possibly LHR , quick cuppa at Windsor then onto Brussels.
