Thanks!

In summary then, USAF units that are thought to be in the region, or heading there are: 389thFS F-15E 391stFS F-15E 494thFS F-15E 31stFW F-16CM 388thFW F-35A 493rdFS F-35A 134th FS F-35A? 1stFW F-22A Having a look through the coronet page, there seems to be 20th FW F-16s, 52nd FW F-16s and 124th FW...

I can't see a list.

ZA679
ZA684

ZH777

Not "listed" as such, but all 4 serials were in the 3 pages of KBF posts. Zero required for me as usual!

NH90 F-MECL was plotting northbound along the Cornish coast in the last couple of minutes it appears to have been down as far as St Ives at one stage before returning , disappeared of screen north of Boscastle Which, if the ping is correct (I have no idea how accurate the data is for French Army he...

The French NH-90 that landed at Chivenor around 12.15pm today was coded ‘EBV’.
Cheers!

Serial should be 1456.

Can an F-35A actually do anything useful range wise? Would probably need to be based in Eastern Poland to bomb Moscow. Don't count on any tanker support. Range issues depends on use, unlikely to “bomb Moscow” as we would all be already dead in that scenario (we also have Trident for long range). F-...

Probably both, if the 494th are going East, the 389th will presumably soon come back West?

No the US are “putting pressure” on a place in the Middle East with additional squadrons.

Ah yes I hadn't thought of that. Feels perfectly safe to me and not a risky policy in the slightest...

This recent influx of C-17s and the Omni Air 767, does this point to the 389thFS coming back through soon or another deployment for the 48thFW?

I really like the dark scheme for the Sentry compared to the light grey and white it used to be in!

It's based at Yeovilton with 845/846 NAS. Based on the direction it was heading it's likely it's recently arrived into Brize Norton as airfreight (hence stripped down) and was heading home. From the pictures it’s had a few things removed (tail, rotor blades, nose, few other bits). Would they do tha...

Planebase database has F-RAFS as c/n 200, and F-RAFR as c/n 145, currently still with Jet Aviation France as M-JAFR, with the note "For the French Air Force in 2025. Did not become F-RAFS as originally reported"

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say this will never happen. Quite possibly the jet will arrive in the US from Qatar, maybe even quite soon, but I can see it ending up sitting in storage at Dayton for weeks, months and then years whilst there are arguments about the feasibility of kitting it ...

Thanks.

I did A Level Maths so find the sums quite easy

Admittedly I do keep that subversive publication MAM firmly under lock and key

Errrm yeah, offence not taken!

As you are a Moderator, I am again stunned you post such exact detail about the location of the UK's latest military assets :-( P. Nothing that's not (elsewhere) in the public domain. Trust me, if the MoD didn't want such information made public, they've got channels that could easily shut this sit...

Brazilian Navy Lynx ZH972/(N-4012) was outside around 11am today.

It's the HAS complex directly opposite the viewing area. Previously used by 493(?)FS when they had F15s. Some limited views through the trees as you drive past.

Here you go: Did anyone get the callsigns and landing times for the Hornets? Thanks in advance. From my camera landing times were: 12.11pm CE.15-2 12.14pm C.15-48 12.18pm C.15-62 12.25pm CE.15-12 and C.15-53 12.28pm C.15-44 I don't do callsigns but I think I heard something like "Emile" on other pe...
