Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
Has anybody managed to read any of the stored F-4s located on the disused runway. I'm sure that there are few more parked up now compared to last year.

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2024
I think 37 might be a mispole. Ive been making a list since last week when people were in the canyon and 37 has not been reported anywhere. I think the correct French serials are 7,13,17,20,27,33 and 34. Regards Mark How many French Rafales are there? I count 8 different serials from pictures and lo...

The C-17s are supporting the Qatari Rafales which should have arrived a couple of hours ago.

Re: Red Flag 24/2
Why are they two weeks late? They’ve been operating from Hill and their Green Flag is likely to start on Monday. Regards Mark 8 LN jets arrived yesterday at Nellis 2 weeks late. From what I’ve been told there’s two very broken ones. One at Hill and one at Gander. All the jets might make it to Tyndal...

Re: B1b RAF Fairford
Pass, but I have since been told that the fire engines met the Bone on arrival so maybe it is tech too. The tanker definitely broke though. My friend sent me a message from the base in ‘Scandinavia’ that he was at. Regardless, I’m glad that it hadn’t departed! Regards Mark Thanks for the info' ramea...

Re: B1b RAF Fairford
It was actually the B-1s tanker that broke as I know somebody who should have flown in it. The B-1 then had to divert which was handy for those who needed it. I know of two people who needed 095 as their last B-1 so myself and Andy are both very happy that it did divert in 😎 (I read it off just befo...

Re: Last Chance Point
The pins are removed in the sun shelter prior to taxi. Regards Mark Also when the F-35A arrive at the EOR there are no pins to remove. If the pits are in use the Eagles shut down one engine and will stop again at the last chance with ground crew while the second engine is spun up. The F-35A on the o...

Re: KC-46A
24-46404 is the FMS serial for the JASDF jet. Is 44-3614 confirmed as the Japanese serial because I saw it in December and it was wearing 34-3614?

Re: New Depth Support Facility
The main runway at Middle Wallop is a grass runway... This is good to know. It will be good to see Middle Wallop a little more active. Thank you for the info I wonder if this will mean an increase in the runway length as I assume the maintenance of these AH-64E's will need parts transported in, but ...

Re: USAF EA-37B Updates
I've no idea either lol! It's definitely an EA-37B though. Same paint scheme and DM in the tail along with the serial. Not a mispole either because I must have read it off at least 4 times!

Re: USAF EA-37B Updates
Just to confuse things, I saw a painted EA-37B at Waco in December wearing the serial 19-587/DM in the tail and 1587 on the nose (so 19-1587?)! It doesn’t fit in with any of the known construction numbers allocated to the type!
