Sorry cant red the others

Evening, anyone know what was wrong with Red 6 or 7 this evening on arrival at Shawbury? Team did a normal run and break into the circuit to land. All was normal than either 6 or 7 (wasn't counting) touched fully down rolled a bit then powered up and went around. It then did 2 circuits and landed no...

Both Rafales outside at 6am Saturday morning. Easy to see from the farm track to the crash gate off the Acton Reynald road. Cheers I've recently move 10-miles away from Shawbury so I need to make a trip over. Does anyone know if the Rafales need to PDA today? Was done yesterday apparently. Thank you!

Has anyone picked up/know any A/a freqs for the Hornets yet?

You can try these they worked in CH a few years back but I don't know if they are current or not:

138.300
140.325
142.650
253.075
255.675
259.275
264.650

Its no secret that the USAF operated SR71's over Israel / Egypt during and after the Yom Kippur War in 1973. They operated directly from CONUS so would not have come under Det-4 out of Mildenhall. It is therefore possible that if one had an issue or there was an issue with its KC135Q that Akrotiri w...

Whats the 100ARW up to? There are 8 QUID flights airborne at the moment and more or less over Lincoln. That's a sizable part of the fleet.

U2 coming in?

If i read the latest (FB) post correctly, its worse than I thought Just to add some clarity on the parking situation, as there seems to be a few of you that may have been misinformed. The only area available for parking is the dedicated viewing area car park, this has been provided by the Base. All ...

Just read this on Facebook post so it's 2nd hand info: Great day at lakenheath even thi not much flying. Got blue special tail of the 493rd doon performance take off. Then a pilot took the 3rd cable and ripped it oit causing a 25x25ft hole in runway. This caused runway to be shut just before dinner....

Thanks all. I checked the NOTAMs also and saw nothing. I'll probably risk a trip tomorrow as it will be my last chance for a few months.
(Hope they got a good warrante on this runway surface!)

Evening,
Does anyone have the definitive state of the LN runway at the moment. I keep seeing alternate posts on FB that it's got yet another hole in it and the Eagles are dirverting to Mildenhall again.
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Swiss Airforce will be operating the WEF policing out of Meiringen airbase in January?

Cheers Simon

That panel coming off could of been as simple as the latches on it not being put down correctly. If thats the case then no matter the flight the panel could of come off, i use to work on Tornados and ive heard loads of stories of panels coming off due to them not being fitted or secured correctly, ...

They are not doing anything that a 40-year old Tornado was not doing before at a fraction of the cost
Hardly a test of a 5th generation fighter. Oh and they are only there for 6 weeks rather than a normal 3-4 month deployment.

One final flight confirmed on Twitter by the station commander for the Tornados The FINal flight of Tornado takes place on Thurs 14 March with a flypast over the Disbandment Parade (early PM). The sortie will take place solely overhead Marham. There are no further sorties planned next week. @RAFMar...

did the RAF purchase the gunpod and hard points to go beast mode for our F-35's?

No not yet

As for tanking off the carrier; if it's needed the Voyager (or A N Other coalition tanker can do it). The carriers take the fighters close in because they have a limited range. Modern tankers (well, the Voyager/KC-30 family) have ample range to be deployed well behind and in a far safer environment...

Lies, damn lies and statistics The amount of UK participation varies by model and customer. It's most for the B as RR is involved additionally for the lift fan in that model. It's least in the Israeli A model as they have fitted there own counter measure suite rather than the BAe system (this goes a...
