US 'deployment' to VL

[ukaviation]

It also left port 2 days late so that may have a effect on the issue.

Left port on the 12th

USS Theodore Roosevelt actually left port on the 11th

VAW-125 deployed with the E-2D for the first time and thanks to Paul 'VIDAR700' last deployment for HS-11 before they become HSC-11 with MH-60S

If they are at anchor from the 22nd to 27th, don't expect to see any flying!
If the 'Big Stick' (TR) is moving then C.O.D.'s should be flying so maybe expect them before Sunday?

That's a week of flying lost if the a/c stay onboard the carrier which at the beginning of a deployment I can't see happening, so I would say there is a very good chance of fj's deploying to Yeovilton in order to play with our boys.

What deployment? It's clearly a port visit!

That is the usual way they do things during a courtesy visit. The C.O.Ds to and fro during their run in to the anchor point then anchor up for the duration of the stay. Never known any FJ activity during a visit unless it coincides with an airshow/exercise. Then the C.O.Ds are active again the day of,or day after, the sailing at the end of the visit.
Not saying that is what will happen but that is the usual pattern.

USS Theodore Roosevelt is currently conducting a World tour of the Fleets AOR's before changing ports upon return to the us, part of the shift from Atlantic to pacific operations.
