Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
And presumably the Atlas lurking out near Skegness, on ADSB.
Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
All very interesting but what have the latest posts got to do with Spanish F-18's?
Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
Initially, because Spanish F-18’s may have been early arrivals for Coningsby ACPV 2017. Doesn’t look like that was correct. Perhaps ACPV needs its own thread if anything of interest.

Maybe they were scheduled to partake in ACVP, but were recalled to Spain after the fatal crash within the same unit on the day they arrived?
Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
They were towed out of a 3 Sqn HAS on the morning of departing, so I'd say they were merely guests of 3 Sqn. Thus nothing to do with ACPV.
As for being recalled due to the accident I would think they would have gone the same day had that actually happened.

Re: Spanish F-18s at Coningsby
Long flight from Spain to return the same day, especially since they would've had to do flight planning for the return which obviously wouldn't have been done beforehand and combine that with emotional stress. A nights rest would have lessened the burden. So very much feasible.Vulcanone wrote:They were towed out of a 3 Sqn HAS on the morning of departing, so I'd say they were merely guests of 3 Sqn.

Not to mention that the unit probably went into a grounding period until they knew what was what.
