RAF MRTT landed this evening at approx 18:40z. Flew direct from Brize at a max of 9000ft as RRR860.

Showed on ADSB as [43C6F5] ZZ332

[Eagle130]

ZZ332 Seems to have gone back to Brize last night as RRR861 after what must have been a quick turnaround

I have been told that ZZ343 is on the ground and that it departs for Brize at noon today. Have two aircraft somehow got muddled up or did two MRTT's land? I would normally nip to the airport myself for a look but am awaiting a delivery

Looking at the FR24 tracks it looks like there are some new pilots getting checked out on the A330 and they are flying some shortish sectors out of Brize. last nights flight remained on the ground for about an hour as per the first post in the thread and then returned to Brize.

RRR860 ZZ343 [43C700] on finals to RW23 and just touched down 11:00z

From Brize again so I take it this would be a similar pilot check flight

[Eagle130]

ZZ343 departed at 12:48z as RRR861 back to brize

I believe that the Canadian CC-150 (A310) is leaving at 5pm today.

I am hearing that there is a UAE C-17 due in Monday at some point for a night stop. Sorry I don't have a time.

[Pesmog]

Forget the UAE C-17, it has apparently cancelled.

[jd4781]

There's a UAE C-17 due at 1500 tomorrow according to Paul on the google group.

[Pesmog]

Yes, I have just heard that the UAE C-17 re-booked and is now expected 12 noon today. Should be reg 1227. Seamingly its arrival has been a bit fluid
