Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming

Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming

C17s are in and out this week with support equipment. 8 x A10's from the 442FW Whiteman are due and AC130s will operate out of Mildenhall

Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
Rumour on another forum there may be A-10s on the static at RIAT, seems logical that they will be from this deployment. Have to wait and see!
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
The info kicking about or rumours saying the A-10 are not arriving until at least Friday, so unfortunately I can't see any being static. Shanwick ALTRV should be posted Wednesday or Thursday if they arrive plan to arrive on Friday. A-10s usually island hop via either The Azores or rarely Iceland, rather than fly direct. So if they if they go via the Azores should see the Santa Maria ALTRV as early as Tuesday
I'm at RIAT from Wednesday morning, so hopefully one of the other NOTAM watchers can post it

Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
And, if they really are KC A-10's then it's highly unlikely they'll go direct from Whiteman to Lajes/Kef. Much more likely that they'll stop over at a base on the East Coast - rest up for a day, then continue to Lajes/Kef, rest up for a day, then continue to Leeming. They won't be leaving Whiteman tomorrow (some insignificant public holiday about not being able to brew a decent cuppa). Strikes me earliest arrival is Saturday if they leave Tuesday.
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
A10's confirmed - possible Ospreys at least visiting - transport due from Wednesday
I posted rumours about this months ago - so glad it's happening typically I'm away though for most of it

Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
Hopefully A10's going to be using UK ranges..might be worth a trip to Donna Nook if they do
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
Last time the A-10s were over, the weren't allowed to use the Avenger..hope that's changed!
At the end of the day..it gets dark and you cant see!!!!
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
On Donna Nook, a flight made a few "dry" runs. Donna tower asked if they were going "hot". Lead pilot replied "we haven't got any bullets with us"
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
the Area's in the Notam are all Northbound, don't think they are going to Donna Nook.
Once a spotter, always a spotter!
Re: Exercise Jaded Thunder - RAF Leeming
Could the NOTAM posted for tomorrow be the A10s going to Keflavik????Gary wrote:The info kicking about or rumours saying the A-10 are not arriving until at least Friday, so unfortunately I can't see any being static.

Seems strange if it is for the F-22 as surely they would come via MIMKU like the F35s
