I am not sure how it would work as it would require the sort of "facilities" to be installed that are currently delaying the two VC25B's. I am not sure the current white house team understand that. It was said it would be an Air Force One with less systems on board, just for transport within the US...

3 planes collided over Pantelleria Island, all managed to land. One MB339 seriously damaged when it skidded of the runway. One pilot taken to hospital.

Seems they had a lucky escape, it could have ended a lot worse.

It will be the last show for the Patrulla Aguilla with the Casa 101. Afterwards they will change for the PC-21. First with 5, later 7 PC-21s.

If Trump finds out he will personally order to rename the ship. Probably bearing the name of the greatest president, business man and person ever to walk the earth. USS Donald J. Trump, the best ship ever.

I don’t know which planes are where (I’m only going there next week), but on previous editions all ramps are visible from the outside.

From outside nearly everything can be seen

No chance they close it from the US side. they cant possibly justify closing an airbase then tell counties to up their defence spending because we would have just cause to say "well you aren't so why should we?" And they offer 50% of the UKs defence network so no chance that parliament will be in a...

I expect nothing too bad will happen to LN, maybe cutting cost by pulling back a squadron. The future of Mildenhall might be less positive, as its outdated and might need upgrading. And with Musk counting the beans…

It seems the KC-45 wasnt a bad choice after all…

This morning we visited Mildenhall for the P-8, C-130H and C-146.
We saw 6 Ospreys, of which only 3 could be read. 0057, 0061 and 0076.

Anyone for the other 3?

Kind regards,

Michel

Was that the same Beech that was parked/stored near the 707’s?

FT A330?

There’s a civil registered A330 (T7-TAY) which is supposedly the future Airbus MRTT demonstrator. Maybe you saw that one?

And when is delivery to the squadron planned for the 3 aircraft

Anyone for the third active P-8 from Keflavik, inbound Sigonella? It passed just south of Lossiemouth earlier this morning.
