Req: Exercise Name: Waddington 4th June 2001

Hi All

I know that Exercise Nomad took place at Waddington in July 2001 but on the 4th June that year I noted 9 Swiss FA-18's (same ones noted 27/05 - on the way to the last Mildenhall ), 7 BAF F-16's plus C-130 support and a number of Cottesmore GR-7's.

I have all of these logged and the only missing detail is a Lynx that routed OTT at around 08;41 that morning.

Were these also part of Nomad please or was this a different exercise?

Many thanks

regards
Simon

Found this on F5 enthusiasts page
Training was transferred to the North Sea AMI range, aircrafts were based at RAF Waddington in the United Kingdom; these campaign lasted from 1990 till 2001 (the last year with the participation of only McDonnell F-18s), giving the possibility to train at a later stage against higher performance McDonnell F-15s and General Dynamics F-16s.

The above refers to the NORKA campaigns (NORdsee KAmpagne)

Cheers rebel14...so for me that's a standard fare deployment.

Thanks for that
