Post by cat1 » Mon Jan 29, 2024 8:56 am

Morning

I know this question has been asked to death, but is the Mach loop busy these days?

sorry if this question was asked literally 30 seconds ago, I must have missed it :halo:

Cheers

I live in the Loop. At the moment I'd say it's quiet. Not had F15s for a while. Had the occasional F35 but they've been higher than normal (new pilots possibly). As gunship54 said. We have the Typhoon and the odd 35b. The usual hawks and texans. And an A400 now and again. Might be lucky and have Strix through. At the moment I'd say it's quiet. Yes you get the odd day which is good.

“ Yes you get the odd day which is good” as per the second response, there’s your answer. Just turn up and wait like everyone else does, do your research regarding US bank holidays and NOTAMs and make sure your uniden has enough batteries.
