Awesome.

The official RIAT arrival days are Wednesday onwards. Having said that however, there are bound to be exceptions . . . . F-35s already in and RUMOURS of F-22s on Tuesday. But, as usual, time will tell!

Can confirm that F-22s are coming today!

[stealth1234]

According to Twitter the Hellenic Phantoms and spartan are in Today

[POL]

They should have left Greece a few minutes ago.

[Trenchard]

Can confirm that F-22s are coming today!

I was under the impression they'd slipped to Wednesday - is this confirmed, subject to the usual caveats, please?

[young Philip]

Fairford Plane spotters (Facebook) has recently said today plus the Phantoms.

[sjnovis]

7th July Notam for the Reds, I guuess they'll be into Fairford earlier in the day.

[Supra]

But surely the F-4's will fuel-stop, go u/s & come Thursday??

[massimo]

HAF C-27J due in at Brize

[Thunder]

The Hellenic C-27 HAF354E s/n 4121, is showing on FR24 just off the Italian coast at Pescara. If it's in the company of the two F-4's then there's a good chance it will go into Aviano en route.

F-4's are not arriving today.....

[benfield5697]

RIAT Air Ops has confirmed on Twitter that the Greeks are not arriving today- F22s are due around 1900L

[bizfreeq]

According to Twitter the Hellenic Phantoms and spartan are in Today

When did Phantom become plural, did I miss that announcement? I thought there was only 1 coming? 2 would be very welcome though.

2 will be coming

I doubt that time very much. From 30W to Fairford in 2 hrs - particularly as they are tracking along 60N???? And that is assuming they cross 30W at the earliest possible time of 17.01BST (per NOTAM).

Arrive about 2000BST would be much nearer the mark.

[benfield5697]

Just what I have seen on Twitter is all, lots of information flying around to be honest so we will have to wait and see! Although 2000BST does seem more logical. Don't shoot la messenger

[Rainton20]

[Rotten Ralph]

F-35 is supposed to be doing its validation at Farnborough at 13:00 today, is there any movement of the F-35 at Fairford at the moment? PS, sorry if this is on the wrong forum.
