27-AUG-2017 B-1 to Radom/Sliac

Post by Hermolaus » Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:13 am

Expect today a B-1B to depart Fairford and fly to Eastern Europe for two flypasts: 1) Radom Air Show, Radom (EPRA), Poland and 2) Slovak International Air Fest, Sliac (LZSL), Slovakia.
Would be grateful for ANY info on this flight. Don't even know what callsign to expect.

PS. Sorry for creating a new topic. Hope you don't mind. But find out some important posts for me, concerning yesterday B-52 flaypast in two different topics, one of which mentioning only callsign (which I wasn't familiar with, and wasn't even aware it delt with that B-52)...

Thank you, everyone! Looks like going northern route. Which would suggest routing Radom-Sliac today (in contrary to yesterday Sliac-Radom by B-52). Sounds good for me... ;)

Crook 01 passed over the Lakenheath area towards NAVPI at about 12:05 - couldn't see it.

Went on to 231.7

Some issue with its flight plan. Langen could not accept them at first. They made some orbits in the Amsterdam FIR before finally getting cleared in. Routed to CHEB/OKG.
