An F16AM currently overhead Northampton heading NE appears to have taken off from Fairford

Out from Fairford, Squawking, seems unusual to be showing itself I suppose its making some sort of point to someone?

The annual Presidential Address to the US Congress is early tomorrow morning (02.00 GMT), so there you go, all of us followers of US politics will be glued to the box. NATO may well get a mention. NATO - for the short / medium term I think things will remain as is, the Europeans I hope are stepping...

Even if the USA did leave NATO (highly unlikely imo), then I doubt they would abandon their bases here in the UK, Trump might make Starmer do some more A**e licking to salve his ego before signing some sort of 'deal'
keeping the 'special relationship' alive

Turkey signed the new build F-16 deal with the US last June. https://thedefensepost.com/2024/06/13/turkey-us-f16-deal/ Thanks, It was always extremely unlikely that they would be refused, even more unlikely that they would get Typhoons instead The Typhoon deal I believe is separate from F-16 deal s...

IF not alrady a done deal then Trump will sign the deal, Turkey will get its F16s The same man who stopped the shipment of their first F-35 at point of delivery, kicked them out of the entire programme and applied sanctions to them? The first time one NATO member has ever sanctioned another? Turkey...

Yep Israel has succeeded in drawing Iran fully into the conflict. Now we are totally off topic unless damaging a sun shelter counts, so please confirm Israel has drawn Iran into the conflict by allowing the islamic republic to fully finance, train & arm every bunch of murderers in the region?

Not much about Aviation in this thread! Agree, the word 'airstrike' has nothing to do with military aviation obviously :'( on a much more serious note, a large scale war in the middle east will have untold effects on aircraft movements in the UK and other areas so I think you will find many members...

Aah thanks, that must have been it

Yesterday (24/08/23) about 10:30 saw a Herc low level heading up the valley from Abergavenny in the direction of crickhowell, was behind trees so only had a quick glimpse and couldnt make out markings or even colour.
