Coronet Activity

Post by aircraftspots » Mon Jun 19, 2017 6:36 am

Hello All, this is my first time posting in this forum. I've heard that there's a 48th FW Deployment soon with all the CLEAN flights going into Mildenhall, does anyone have any details?

Please excuse my ignorance as I am new to this hobby, but in case it's relevant, when I was looking at the radar yesterday, there were a number of aircraft with the callsign starting CLEAN buzzing around East Anglia. Again, apologies if iv'e mislead you.

Regards

Andy

6 x CLEANs are already in Mildenhall.

48FW deployment to CONUS will be leaving very shortly today. CLEANs will accompany them.

Sorry, guys, but you haven't yet achieved the minimum 5 posts to be able to access the "Heads Up" section where the action is being posted.
Cheers, Bob

Are the earlier comments from rh226 in respect of the number of postings required to access other levels relevant, particularly in the tone it was written in. As a new follower plying my interest, i don't need this person making sarcastic and patronising comments. Are we "lesser people" because we are new. Whatever your problem is chap, keep it to yourself and button it. Complaint is now being lodged with the group owner.

To all those who have been welcoming, thank you.

He was giving you info and letting you know that as a new member there are indeed other levels that, until you post at least five times, you cannot access them. In no way whatsoever was he being condescending and I think you are being very over sensitive here. Help is all he was proffering and you have just had a very unnecessary go at him.

I agree, Moffat you were told politely the same way everyone else is, I see no sarcasm in rh226 post at all.
Have fun here it's an informative board.

You can't even spell my user name correctly.

Maybe you should do what i did and read the group rules and stick to them. The rules explicitly forbid anything other than information. I have read, understood and complied with the rules until now, but i am not prepared to be patronised. All this could have been avoided if rh226 had restricted his post to gen as opposed to inappropriate comments.........not too difficult is it, or maybe it is !

Maybe YOU should try another forum, as I think people will be put off by your comments,
those that are genuinely helpful my be less so to someone with an attitude, time will tell.
Good luck .

Are you allowed to wind up touchy members on this forum?!! I'm on a few different ones, why do they attract so many easily offended people with sense of humour bypasses? Just sayin! :whistle:
