Looks like the US Air force has chosen the RR F130 engine to upgrade its B52s

Great video - thanks for sharing.

MYTEE 21 now on 127.25

Heading in from west.

Mytee 21 & Mytee 22 by the sounds of it.

Switching to 297.8 for Brize.

B52 now showing on ADSB just north of Dorchester.

Not sure if its been posted previously but I notice that armed LN F15Cs deployed to the Middle East earlier this week. Part of the US deterant to Iran I believe.

Nice pictures. I quite like the authenticity of the faded paint on this F5.

Edit - on closer inspection looks to be prepped for re-spray - never mind.

Well said - I'd like to second that. Thanks to all the contributors on here who provided so much great information.

Great shots, thanks for posting. Good to see what goes on at the receiving end of a mission.

Great photos. Nice to take a look at something I'm pretty sure I'll never see in the flesh again.

Just browsing some old threads and noticed these pics. If I remember it was really, really hot that day and cold drinks were selling for a mint. I was so excited as a youngster to finally see an SR71, great memories , thanks for sharing.

Sad to hear about the Polish MiG29 pilot. I still have fond memories of the demo in 2015 - that take off

Great photos, thanks for posting! Its nice to reminisce on a gloomy March evening, also wets the appetite for this year...

Hi Guys. As a newbie on here can anybody give me any info on the reason for the upcoming deployment? I know in the past we've had Baltops, Ample Strike etc, is this for something similar? Thanks.
