Canadian Hornets in Europe question

[Kurnass]

They will come to Europe for sure. Where they will go first remains to be seen.

They were planned to be at Waddington until Friday 27th, so if they're not participating in any anniversary stuff with Digby then surely they will arrive this coming Friday?

so if they are not coming for anniversary re Digby or any Excercise what are they here for? if they were going to Romania for air policing why come all the way south when they can route north of Scotland doesnt really make any sense.

Hornets, CC-130J 130602, CC-150 15005, CP-140 140103 have arrived in Gander. Ready to cross the pond

anyone worked this AR out to see were they may route/destination?

[slogen51]

If the NOTAM is related then looking at the times they should be getting airborne in the next few hours ?

Still expected in to Ramstein according to some of those chaps

[Kurnass]

Apparently cancelled for RS, as ramp 2, 3 &4 are in use as a refugee camp for Afghans. So no visitors at RS accept those for the Afghan evacuation

Diversion base (EGXW)

[slogen51]

Plenty of space at Lakenheath at the moment

[Nighthawke]

Only if they're on 24 and the light is good

[baz1]

wont be Waddo to early for there

I have no proof otherwise but I think this is for a [large] bomber type as opposed to any RCAF Hornets. It might even be for a 'heavy' but it's too high for Hornets and I can't see any reason why they would fly from Gander to 'wherever', through the night.

Given what we all know is at Keflavik at the moment, my money is on them.

Track one looks typically like a tanker ( Lager5xx) out of Mildenhall etc

7 hour gap to the end of return track two


Two of the B-2 have only recently recovered back to BIKF Keflavik but I suppose they can go again. How many are there in Iceland?

[raameagle]

Three, 93-1088/LA being the third.

What are these last two posts doing here?

They belong in the ALTRV thread for 26/08/2021.

[slogen51]

When the notam appeared in this section is was naturally going to prompt a discussion or speculation? I was simply suggesting it looked like a tanker heading west to meet whatever was the subject of the notam - not hornets as it turned out.

I assume the Canadians are still in Gander?
