Clean 91 promo 85 landed Bangor 11.20

Given the fact that only five have been reported arriving at Bangor late yesterday and there is no oceanic airspace reservation. Does it seem likely they will still manage to stage through Mildenhall according to the (welcome!!!) time frame posted above? Maybe they already have some weather or technical problems on the other side of the pond?
Asking because having to alter ferry and riat plans in case they come ...
Cheers

Thought 9 had arrived a flight of 5 and a flight of 4 later on ?

[Richard de Florennes]

Sorry for confusion. There are all 12 right now reported. Still missing the airspace reservation though ...

Pretty sure I've read somewhere that Shanwick GAT ALTRV's require 24hrs prior notice. This one was filed at 13:14Z today, and activates at 13:18Z tomorrow. Obviously other rules apply for delays and slippages to pre-filed plans, but if they want to follow the rules they've basically filed as late as they could. Of course, state operated aircraft don't have to follow the rules in international airspace.

Coming up tomorrow for some hopefully F16 Action and the A10S hopefully the wind will still be from the east? Good for pics at Campsite end the Hall I guess,
Looking forward too another 0400 start getting in sync for Fairford lol,
See some of you guys around
Cheers.

Looking at tomorrow's forecast, it looks like the wind will have shifted round to the SW by the time that they arrive. So, it will probably be Rwy29.

But the weather boys have been known to get it wrong.

Looking at the skyvector link, it shows the destination as Lakenheath. Not sure as to why, but I am sure someone can educate me

I think it is because destination selected was EGUL (by accident) to demonstrate the route : the URL ends in EGUL

In the end reported elsewhere that there are actually 16 A-10's on the deck at Bangor.

Would this be the second cell or the first?

[rh226]

The second. The 1st cell is TABOR41-46

[James Cutting]

Cheers, hoping they come between 1700 and onwards - never seen any before and got to get off work early

[H.A.Bucken]

Just looked at a metoffice site; wind change between 1800 and 1900L will be SW backing S though wind strength will be light.

What runway would that point to being in use?
