Right guys, sorry to be annoying here but can everyone please refrain from posting heads up and current happenings within this thread. This thread is to build up a daily log of flights during the course of the exercise, nothing else!!

There are threads within the UK Heads Up section for posting such information.

Thank you

Don't think we'll ever know, as it turned back just off the coast of Nova Scotia, unless we have a sleeper at Whiteman.

So it took off from Whiteman but never arrived?

Maybe they just have spare fuel to burn off :)

Airspare is so that if the mission requires two aircraft, they'll launch with three (or four!) to give them a better chance of success; the two best aircraft will fly the mission and the spare(s) will go home.

That's the end of week one, maybe not as much movements that we had hoped for, but there's always next week. Thanks to everyone that supplied the information and kept track of the bombers while in the air :thumbs:

Looks like I underestimated the USAF on Friday night. It was good to see the bombers out over the weekend, despite the initial heads up saying there would be no weekend flying.
