Re: CW24-2 : My Take : Updated 15 Sept : Overview & Bicycles

Probably a stupid question but have any Polish F16 aircraft actually arrived yet? & thanks for the info about the Canadian& Finnish F18 locations.

Re: Mildenhall mini log - 7/08/2024

Hi slogen51,

Can you confirm Gold 34 was read off as 76076 please? Photographs of it in Australia in August 2023 on Jetphotos show the tail carrying 06076.

Can I also just add that I appreciate all the information you put out for me to keep visits to Mildenhall & Lakenheath worth it.
Thanks, Mike

Re: 1973 Luxembourg

Arnold... what can I say except "thanks for the memories"... they are great with the ramp access you presumably had. I would have seen a lot of the transport types as they arrived at Northolt during Farnborough Show week back in the days of British aviation manufacturers bringing the NATO bosses.

Thanks for that response to my question, PR9. Hope the weather this year is good in Switzerland & Yorkshire, rain looks likely but I can deal with that so hope the Swiss AF can as well.

Good evening,

Does anyone have any details on the above ? - Scramble has it starting on Monday 20th Nov .

Any info ' would be helpful as a trip across the Pennines for an ' oldie spotter ' is a challenge.

Thank you , Ian
Does 20th. Nov. become the arrival date for the ground crews & Hornets?

Re: Another Exercise for Waddington

I have been hoping this Waddington event might coincide with a reason to visit Leeming for the Swiss F18 night flying event if it will be happening again this year. Anyone any idea?

That's correct, they are GMT/Zulu listed above.

I guess at stapleford they will start their run in to London, time over the palace is 1430.
