Re: B-1 arrival Discussion.
They certainly have flown at weekends on occasions- Cosford even managed to secure flypasts by both B-1 And B-52 on their returns one year

Re: Movements 02/11/21
An observation - looking at the B1 flights since they arrived (excluding the arrival days), one or more B1s have flown on 7 odd numbered dates and only 1 even numbered date. So based on historic statistics, they are perhaps seven times more likely to fly tomorrow than today? Maybe the USAFs contrib...
