Leuchars 08/04/14 QRA recoveries included.

Post by adamc8rd » Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:52 pm

Spent over 12 hours at Leuchars yesterday in the company of Mark and Freddie for a while also. The day was rather quiet in places with no hawk movements until mid afternoon. There was one solitary 6 Sqd jet out in the morning along with 2 from 11Sqd and 3 from 1Sqd. The afternoon waves comprised of eight 1Sqd movements and just two from 11Sqd. Oh and a double Q launch which I missed. I did get the recovery of the Q jets though.

Missed the Q launch as I was trying to get a moon shot.

I did however manage to get both Q jets returning.

No heli action yesterday. And yes there were 4 refuelers waiting for most of the day at the cross runway
