Lovely! They apparently left the States with a pair of MB339's, wonder where they went?

Any chance of tempting any to the Airshow in September?

Draken International have taken over the Apache Ava contract in France and Apache's Hunters, which are currently stored at Dijon, should be making their journey states side soon. Well so I'm told.

Have been due to ferry Goose to Narsarsuaq for the last few days,and are listed to again today so are still on their way. I am guessing tech problems as one is said to have got airborne only to return shortly after.
Lovely shots of the A4s,wish they would come through further south once in a while!

Love that colour brilliant mate

Absolute cracking shots of a couple of nice jets,im not an expert on this but someone said theres range issues with the MB339s Iceland to Prestwick and Stornoway been mentioned a pity

Stornoway to Prestwick is about 200 miles as the crow (MB339?) flies. Hard to believe that with only a couple of diverts possible they would operate on those margins. These Ferry-pilot types do seem to have cahonies size-matched to their pay-packet?
PS:- great shots of the latest European A4's. Suppose from the post further up that the ex. Boscombe Down, ex.Team Viper Hunter is bound for the USA?

Two Draken marked MB339s are currently parked at Keflavik, no Mode S or ADS-B received locally so listening to LiveATC will be the only way to know if they start making their way over.

Will they show on FR24 then Kyle?

Only if FR24 now incorporates primary radar or Mode A/C tracking
