As they are night flying next week,how do Fridays usually work out ? I ask because I have Friday off work and I was thinking of heading up there for at least half a day.I know they stop flying around lunch time on Fridays so will that be it by Thursday night or do they revert back to days for Friday? Sorry for all the questions but I don't want to make a wasted 2 and a half hour journey.Many thanks in advance to anyone who can provide the answers if you have any.

Not seen anything on ADS, in the past, the first night flying wave has launched between 1800 and 1900.

Thanks Mike much appreciated, we have only got about 10 mins until we get there so fingers crossed it won't be too long before some go out.

Cheers

Can see Havoc and Cobra up now, what time did they start launching?

Was there an earlier wave around 6?

Hi Mike, believe the 2 flights of 3 went out as war lord and cobra. There was a singleton that went out as typhoon 116. Not sure what else went up as we left once these 7 came back in around 8pm.

ZK013 arrived at CBY around 6ish, went out again at 9 and was back doing circuits at 10.30.
