Re: Hercs at Cambridge September 2025

Noted today (17th) in the hangar behind the tower was a USMC Herk codes 0- -. Which could be any one of three. Sadly the door was just not open wide enough to read the rest and stayed that way for a couple of hours. Hopefully someone may have visited today when the door was open wider and can ID it

Re: Exercise Ramstein Flag 30/9 to 11/10/24

Nearly a year ago now but did anyone go to Araxos for the Greek participants?
If so were there F-16s from 115PM (340Mira & 343Mira) present
I noted 4 returning to Souda on the evening of the 11th October

It’s mixed in the the RAF hercs by the big hangar and easy to miss if you are in the wrong place. Many thanks, hopefully there in the mo...

F-16 ‘006’, was one of the first pair that was modified to F-16V standard, once with 335M at Araxos, I now believe it’s on strength of 343M at Souda.

Great catch with M346’s
Interesting info, thank you.
First HAF M.346s I've seen, shame they went unidentified.
