Re: F15 Eagles

Yes the ANG on their way home to the USA from Germany, tanker issues apparently so while awaiting a divert they did missed approaches only at Staverton, and then finally off to Mildenhall, but I’m sure we all know that now. 😊

The visit was a training trip but also (most probably) a fact finding trip in relation to handling / accommodation, etc possibly with more visits in mind.

Thankyou very much.

Re: KC-135 art work on hangar

Yes there was a big KC-135 painted on the hangar along with the titles European Tanker Task Force, back in the good old days of the tanker TDY’s between 1978 and 1990.

Couple of B-52s have taken off, but I have doubts that there will be any U-2 flying - but hope to be wrong!
Would hope the U-2 didn’t go up, they are a sod to land when it’s a dead calm!

Taking a northerly route for GODOS today , he usually cuts across to Norwich but presently in the Birmingham area
They usually turn east over Worcester, but occasionally carry on up north of Birmingham.

“Spotters” will travel regardless of exhaust emissions or what the locals think around airfields, simply to get a photo of a plane not yet seen, why would the Pentagon care about what you choose to do outside the fence? nobody forces anyone to drive distances to take photos of planes, it’s your choi...
