Some afternoon arrivals
(mm62181)/46-46 C-130J IAM 4671
165316 / NY 316 KC-130 Yankee 98
(.......) C-12 convoy 7555 arrived at 16:35Z

Couple of requests
The C-12/UC-12 arrived at about 16:30Z r/t callsign Convoy 7555 - can this be 167555 which I can't find on the web

(16.4??)/YD P-8 is also on the deck - don't know when it arrived, just can't quite read it off

There is a thread on here somewhere showing CNV7555 as 163555

Not sure whether this is a pole off or an electronic hit.

Trevor

That was quick, found the thread thanks

Needless to say I can't read it of either.

Your P8 is 169426/YD

Mega thanks

I fancied it ended in a 6

Edit : read off the nose as 426 after I picked the car up.

2-11-2019 18:45 Trident 88 on finals to BIKF , not showing up. I am at BIRK now so probably won't read it off unless I pop over tomorrow pm

06-11 07:15 Thor 67 P-8 arrived in the dark on RW10 ( not sure if yesterday's Thor 67 went out again or it is a different machine?)

08:25 the Beech with the lumps and bumps is N60125 and has just called to start engines - to BGBW Greenland

Hi Mike,

You've got two ANG C-130Hs on their way to you (RCH111 74-2132 and RCH597 74-1691). Could you please read them off, as it looks like there is a dual usage of hex [AE0320] 74-2132.

Many Thanks.

Sorry I was sitting in an easy jet 320 as they were inbound.

No problem. Hope you enjoyed yourself.

Can really recommend Iceland for sightseeing as the scenery is amazing. I was based mainly in Reykjavik near the old airport in the hotel Natura which over looks the ramp at BIRK. They have a shuttle bus into the city but it is only 25 minutes walk to the city and the hotel is handy for the motorway network to get around the island.

Bit quiet aviation wise but I did make an F-4E on a stick around the back of Keflavik airbase.

The Hotel Aurora ( rooms 511/512 etc) give a reasonable view of the airfield at KEF and over looks the 19 approach and 01 departure end. I had a rental car but you probably can get around to the mil/biz side by bus as the cheaper hotels are on the old base.

I was informed that scramble are saying that Norwegian F-35 might be deploying here next March so I will hopefully come back.
