Not interesting just annoying that some try to read into things and between the lines. Not just English Language as a subject. Mathematics too - 1+1 is always 2 in basic decimal addition.

Anyway back to topic I suppose...

There is only one for static as per Thursday's update. Never has there been mention of two on static. End.

From yesterday's announcemnt at midday:

"The Pakistan Air Force's deployment to the UK will be supported by an IL-78 tanker, however, this jet from 10 Squadron won't be joining the static display."

So if it was showing as static it never was intended to be.

Pakistani IL-78 will now be in the static. This will be the tanker bringing the JF-17 over.

Still showing as support on the web page. Do you have a source for this latest revelation please?

Me too Gareth but I would still like to go back in time with today's "tech" to fill a lot of gaps - now where did I leave my TARDIS?

Sorry not meant as an insult at all - probably should have said "nearer". Not sure if "old school" is widely understood by younger generations these days. The dark ages pre internet, no mobile 'phones or digital cameras. Having to wait for the films to processed and returned and the next aviation ma...

I don't think nashwa is old school - more likely just left school.

A chance we all have to take but you are more likely not to park (sensibly and legally) at Lakenheath if you go there later. Your choice - enjoy.

Noted several times af Lakenheath and Mildenhall since the attack on Iran.

E-7, P-8,RC-135, A.400M and C-17 all making appearances at some point. What else is there?

It may not be staying for the duration.

Just wondering if the B1 in the flying programme will be an additional one to the already announced one? Or will it be a second one operating from Fairford?

Cheers Sam

The update says additional to the one on static.

It's how things are done these days. You could lose any other form of ticket/pass/ID.

Just visiting I assume - nothing unusual.

Could also have been Lakenheath aircraft. Without a time though I doubt anyone can help.

Rather rude and assumes the OP has transport and time whilst on holiday.

I did - sorry should have said. 6D but then got an EF 100-400 before going mirrorless. Like you I am not the best photographer but happy with it at the time.

Never got good results with the 150-500. Far better with the 150-600.

According to PlaneBase J-3096 is correct and was previously marked as "J-3013". The real J-3013 was written off in a mid-air collision in 1981:
