Good mix covering most of the flying. Weather was lovely except for the wind being a bit strong (shame the R4D couldn't fly - was looking forward to it but still great to see her again after 40 years!) Indeed - hopefully there'll be plenty more chances to see it in the air over the next few months....

Out of interest, which Jungmanns opened the show?

Ta have you got any dates ?

Dante sounds like 809NAS to me

I heard "Dante" on 13.11.24 (think it was "Dante 21 Flt"), then it was reported on FC as being heard in use on 14.11.24 as well.

"Leroy" and "Jenkins"?? both heard today, the 18th.

Magic I will update the header list That is two definitely heard from 809 - Firecrest and Flame unless anyone else has heard others. Ta Not sure which squadron, but "Dante" has been heard recently and today we`ve had "Leroy" and what sounded like "Jenkins", but it was hard to define the latter.

Wed. 13.11.24 (2nd Wave) - Were there a pair c/s "Talent 61-62" that launched for the tea-time wave? Fri. 15.11.24 (1st Wave) - A total of ten a/c launched, "Sixpack 51-54", "Grey 11-14", but does anyone know the c/s of the other two please? 13th W2: depart order SIXPACK 71/72, COPPER 81/82, GREY 5...

Putting the registration in the ADS-B search and using the history section shows it left at 12:18 on the 13th.

Thank you very much.

I did look through the history but couldn`t see it, so I appreciate the double check.

Can anyone help with the following from the first week please? PC-12 r/n HB-FOG which came in on the arrivals day. Does anyone know when this left Leeming? I can`t see this on ADS-B history at all, only it`s arrival. Wed. 13.11.24 (2nd Wave) - Were there a pair c/s "Talent 61-62" that launched for t...

Why is the font so big and shouty?

Are you sure it`s not yours that`s just small ?

XWP29 / Supra, Thank you very much for your replies. The cleaning method is very useful, even though many moons ago I did use to clean my own sensor I feel very out of practise. That was when I had a Fuji S2 which, at the time, was way out ahead of both Canon and Nikon with a 12 MP sensor. How times...

Just bumping this old thread as I`ve recently had a camera returned from Nikon after a shutter replacement and it came back with a mark on the sensor. It`s supposed to have had a "professional" clean but I guess in transit a particle of dust has got on the sensor. Because it`s such a long time to-an...

Strange to have two pilots with the same call sign (Dingo). Doesn't tradition demand that the one with the lower rank be re-allocated a different one?

Dingo Jr ?

I know it`s civil but just for interest, support a/c r/n HB-AZB has just departed Bern/Belp as "SUI 597" should be about 1hr 45-50mins en-route.

Not sure what's happened to last one

Thanks for the list.

Not sure about J-5003 but it flew early on Monday on its own. Perhaps it was a test flight and it`s poorly? Has it flown since Monday I wonder?

T-785 has just departed as SUI541. Routine or something to do with the end of the deployment? Routine. Deployment should end like last year with last flying (exercise) day Wednesday, F/A-18s home Thursday and remainder of the personnel Friday. Thats if the weather doesn`t cause any further problems.

For completeness (day light launch): J-5021 Grey 11 J-5010 Grey 12 J-5002 Grey 13 J-5011 Grey 14 Tiger tail (playing catch up) J-5003 Sixpack 21 J-5017 Sixpack 22 Falcon tail J-5014 Copper 31 J-5005 Copper 32 Who wants a twin-stick anyways! Thanks, so Det.2 should currently consist of the following...

J-5021 has just got airborne on the first Yorknite sortie of the day along with J-5002 and J-5010.

Thank you for the update.

Nice Logic the only possible fly in the ointment is J-5021. To my knowledge this has not been seen (at least in daylight hours) since its arrival on 20th November If you just scroll back a page you`ll note this was raised by a previous poster, to which I replied. Obviously we`re a bit further on no...

Do we know which airframes left? I don`t know for certain because I wasn`t there, but it would seem very possible it would have been two F/A-18Ds based on what happened during last years exercise. Last year they sent all the two-seaters from Det.1 back home during the third week and brought in a ne...

Sorry, no callsigns noted - I was busy with the camera. They're in the order they took off, the first two at 14:23 & the second pair at 14:35 & only 75 seconds later the last two. We didn't stay for their return due to the blizzard !! Thanks for the reply and times. Apparently J-5002/232 were seen ...

Thursday 30th November Seen between 13:40 & 14:46 F-18 pairs departed... J-5011(Tiger fin) & J-5010, J-5014 & J-5003 J-5002 & J-5232 20-5571 & 20-5604 F-35As did three approaches G-BYYB & G-BYWK Tutors flew ZB132, ZB139 & ZB134 flew while ZB137 & ZB138 remained parked. Thanks for posting these move...
