Can someone please tell me which was the casa that did the amazing low departure this afternoon with some major wing waggling really low!? My camera battery chose to die right at that moment!

Can anyone confirm that the Saudi Hawks departed to Waddington, as I see on FR24 that they’re meant to be transiting home through France at the moment?

no it was a pure guess on my part and I may have been totally misguided

[hvaneupen]

Everything left as far as I know besides the B52 and the two broken Danish F16s

[127.65]

The Saudi herc was a late straggler.
Flight plan issues resulted in a delayed departure at 1815. Airfield was meant to strictly close at 1800 according to ATC, but they kept open to accommodate the Saudi departure.

2 Danish F16's towed into hangar, believe there was still a red arrow in the same hangar also remaining on site.

I'm pretty sure it was the Slovakian .

[Harkins]

I’d say it was the Serbian AF.

I’d say it was the Serbian AF.

I stand corrected

[red leader]

Thanks for that info guys. Greatly appreciated.

Did anybody note the serial of the departing U-2? (22/7)

[bizfreeq]

80-1070

[mudhen15]

Can anyone confirm the ID of the first C-27J Spartan to depart. Was at P+V West and only managed to get a shot from below as it was already high and no markings or serial obvious.

[hvaneupen]

Slowak AF 1962

Thanks for the info hvaneupen
