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. It’s on the western side of the base and you can slightly see the ramp to the left of the runways. Didn’t stay very long but got t...

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.

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...

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.

Did the SJ Eagles fly in from the US for this tdy.
Or are they here en-route back to the US from the Middle East?
