Re: Next Generation Air Dominance - Contract Award Today
Groom Lake and likely at night. There’s been the occasional reported sighting high level but unconfirmed. If they did fly from Groom and at night then nobody will have seen anything. The same applies to other assets that fly from Groom and Tonopah. If they don’t want it in the public eye, it won’t b...

Re: KC-46A
I was in the States last week and we saw it track too so after checking all of the trackers, one of them showed that it was a T-38. I'll check with the guy I was with to see if he took a screenshot of the serial (I was driving). Regards Mark Thanks Mark, Very re-assuring as as it looked unusual for ...

Re: KC-46A
46101 is still at Everett. WM268 will turn out to be a miscoded T-38.

Re: N a s fallon
That happens everywhere in the States. Paranoia has taken over... Well that rather depends on what you want. With decent optics/cameras you will get plenty of serials if they fly. You won't get photos worthy of the photo section, but not all of us are that interested in doing that.... Yes I was refe...

Re: Exercise Iniochos 2025
Unconfirmed because they probably came from the flightplan. There'll be plenty of people reading them off and confirming them in the next few weeks! Don't forget to check the FMS serials too please (located on the left hand engine intake). Should have been 4 x F-15s with the support using callsign A...

Does anyone know why this would be? Or am I mistaken?

Re: Qatari F15
No more than about half a dozen FMS to QA serials have been tied up, regardless of what the databases (inc Scramble) quote. There is a lot of guesswork involved.
As they get seen at exercises and airshows, more will get tied up.

Mark

Re: Saudi F-15SA delivery
They were F-15S not F-15SA. Of the 72 F-15S that the Saudis took delivery of, 93-0855 and 0856 weren’t the only two to not get delivered through an airbase in Suffolk although admittedly, most did. It’s all about the details! Regards Mark Correct. The Qatari F-15QA have delivered through Mildenhall ...

Re: Cobra Warrior 25-1
If the Saudis are due into Waddington on Monday, I can't see any reason why they would have departed King Khalid yet. Tomorrow at the earliest, or more likely Sunday.

Friend did a monster Orlando-Savannah day trip for the Philippines AF G280 at Gulfstream. To his surprise he found Exercise Sentry in progress. Lots of F.22, T.38 etc.
Has anyone seen a list/know where to find a list of participants?

46085 was the first to be delivered in accordance with the (absolutely bonkers) decision to have the tail unmarked! 086 onwards are the same.
