Re: NOTAM 17-9-20
I disagree with you Raski, the USAF care very much about who has access to their FPL's. Otherwise they wouldn't be `Status Protected`, which means that only those with a professional need to know should have access to them. Leaking FPL details to all and sundry around the world could land you in a l...

Re: Beale Historic Frames

Re: U-2 68-10345 Mildenhall 18/1/1975
Hi all, The above U-2 was noted at Mildenhall by my dad carrying this spurious serial in 1975. Does anyone know it’s real identity? I believe it may have visited multiple times on its way to and from Cyprus. MTIA David I also saw a "68-10345" at Mildenhall a few days after you're dad but I suspect ...

Re: BTF/ Ample Strike 2020 General Information
Reckon these will be `Ample Strike` participants - an exercise which is traditionally supported by AFRC's 307BW at Barksdale. Although these B-1B's are 7BW a/c based at Dyess the 307th's 489BG/345BS also operate from Dyess and share flying the 7th's Bones when required. In Sep 2016 2 Dyess B-1B's we...

A U-2 pilot said to me that if the engine quits on departure "having the gear down is one less thing to worry about"

Re: Aviano F-16s at Fairford
Great shots - especially those later editions. Looks like the same day I was there - some lovely Autumn light and nice shooting opportunities with them on 09. Wasn’t a Nimrod R1 operating from Fairford at the same time too? Yes Dan, there's a photo of it in Cranberry's ISTAR post. It was XV249. I t...
