Re: Going spotting at Ramstein/Spangdelham

Stopped off at Ramstein on Wednesday for a quick look to see if ought was flying. I parked up next to the Great Escape memorial plaque which you can find on google maps.

I think one of the F-35B’s from Ghost flight have had a bird strike and damaged the front of the aircraft.
He’s off back to Marham with a emergency.

Wood Lane on the centreline at Point Mugu should give you no problem at all.
The road isn’t very busy there as well.Your out of the way there.

Re: California Spotting (Lemoore)

When I went there a good few years ago I hung round the missile park for a while. Then when I knew there was inbounds I drove to Wood Road which is on the centreline off Highway 1. I’d heard the Navy doesn’t like photos being taken when at the Missile Park. Had no problems there and saw some nice Kf...

I really like listening to the mil air comms.I have Yupi 7100 and live in Lancashire so i struggle to get any comms the other side of the pennines,let alone the north sea danger areas. It's great how you can listen to streams on the net via you tube etc. It does get a little annoying though when a f...

Re: Two more US F-35 Sqns to the UK

For what’s my view worth I would hazard a guess at him meaning the two sqns are the ones what have always been planned to arrive.
It’s just sounds like political spin.
Wouldn’t be surprised though if we get a few f-35 sqns over on tdy while the two LN sqns get a sufficient number of airframes.
