Any departure info for the B-1?
To use the proverbial "how long is a piece of string" analogy.....when it's fixed and if it requires AAR for its transatlantic trip that there's a tanker available

As the Brize ATC rejected the FAF E-3 i am surprised they did not reject the Reds as well !
The E3 was on a PD whereas the 4 Reds were landing and taking part in an event at Brize so that's why they weren't rejected
