Re: king's birthday flypast rehearsal 2025

Kings Birthday Flypast is listed as 14/06/2025 on the Red Arrows Display Dates : https://www.raf.mod.uk/display-teams/re ... /displays/

Seems logical that there would be a rehearsal for timings etc. Keep an eye on the NOTAMS nearer the time.

Re: F-35A Squadron Allocation

FYI the patch store has patches for individually named jets. Guessing these names are just internal and allocated by the crew chief.

Re: Different activity 9th August?

In case anyone was wondering, the 'MIL REHERSAL AIR DISPLAY' was a practice by the RAF Chinook Display which arrived from Odiham using a 'Skyhook' callsign.

Re: acars.adsbexchange

ACARS monitoring is a fantastic addition to the enthusiast toolset. Would it be possible to add an option to sort the table my message type (if there is one) to make it easier to see the enroute messages? Many thanks for all your efforts. I need just a little more help to understand exactly where o...

Re: acars.adsbexchange

ACARS monitoring is a fantastic addition to the enthusiast toolset.

Would it be possible to add an option to filter out the positional and weather reports to make it easier to see the enroute messages?

Many thanks for all your efforts.

Re: Typhoons on TDY next week?

Tyrant 31/32 now recovering. Currently with Benson tower Landed 15:53 local Was that a straight in landing or did they do any circuits at Benson? From their RT, they performed a radar to visual approach. Proceeded to initials with a break to land. So they would've completed a single circuit.
