Actually more interested in that Toom in the background. Do you have the serial?

XV436 I think!

Have them built and fly them on rotation to keep the hours down on the whole fleet and reliable availability, that's the whole reason for having a larger fleet than actually required! If we need 3, then having a fleet of 5 would ensure there are always 3 available for operations, a fleet of 3 may en...

Thanks for this!

Had the chance to call in to Nellis on the afternoon of 16th May, nothing flying unfortunately, but there were 6 EA18Gs with 2x E2Ds and 3 B52Hs amongst others noted from where I was parked up. Does anyone have the IDs for these please? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for that, I forgot to mention the 6 E3's that came in one afternoon!

I was at DM last week and there was a detachment of Columbian AF Super Tucanoes flying around, preparing for Red Flag as far as I can tell, I think there is also an H60 with them. Does anyone have any further details on these please, I think there are 5 or 6 tucanoes inc. 3102, 3104, 3108 and 3114, ...

I'm flying over on Sunday morning with Double Eagle!

Thanks guys!

I'm hoping to visit Luke next month and was wondering if anyone can advise where the best place for spotting is? Thanks in advance for any help.

Or corrupt one

Very apt!

Boris Bus, Sunak Bus or Truss Bus? The last one sounds painful!

Thanks for that!

I was in Hyde Park in London yesterday at around 8pm and a C130 flew over head heading west. No reception on my phone so could check on ADSB, does anyone have an id for this please, many thanks in advance?

I drove a car load of guys from around Abingdon, Witney area to see them arrive! Support was 2 RAF Herks ferrying equipment in from Upper Heyford where 2x EC135Ks arrived if I remember correctly!

I did get the feeling it may have been 2 pairs the first 2 went through heading north and literally a minute or 2 later 2 came through heading south! It did seem rather quick for them to have turned round and headed back through the valley!

I didn't get id's for them, they flew up the valley, and returned a couple of minutes later, within a few minutes of the time you saw them.

I saw these flying over Buttermere!

ADS-B playback (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?r) shows it as 89-9104 HKY651 out of Prestwick.

Many thanks for that Nighthawke!

Had a C130 heading south over the Lakes today at around 14.45, no reception on my phone due to being half way up Scarfell, so couldn't check on ADSB. Anyone have an ID for this please?
