Stansted July 2023

The videos of AF1 arriving show a C-17 on the ground parked near what I am assuming is the RAF MRTT ZZ330. Does anyone know the Reg of that one ? Is it 02-1105 per RampRats excellent list above?

I believe that ZZ336 is due in shortly. Maybe to take the PM to Vilnius?

If what I have been told is correct, the departure times for the USAF C17's are 19:00, 19:00, 22:00 and 22:15 local today.

Is it 02-1105 per RampRats excellent list above?

Yes it is! Thanks for the appreciative comment on the list

The callsign for ZZ336 was RRF69 not RRR69, FR24 labels some RAF stuff wrong.

Hi all,

Would Tremhall park be an option for pictures from the southside of the runway, it’s across the highway. I’m opting for arrival of the VH-3s and Departing VC and C-32…
Would that work?

if you're referring to Thremhall Priory between the B1256 and A120 (Bury Lodge lane) then i'd say no, it's a bit lower than the A120 / airport and there are lots of trees round there. Have a look on Google earth steetview and you'll see what the view (or lack of) is like.

this might help with locations: https://airbritainstanstedbranch.wordpr ... thusiasts/
I've no idea who wrote it!

I will pop to the airport this evening to see the two C17's depart as they always do good take offs.

I see ZZ330 has just departed again for Rzeszow.

[Pesmog]

ZZ330 out at 9am back 17:30 'ish

Also hearing that there may be a visit by a USAF C-130 dusk today.

[Pesmog]

The USAF C-130 I mentioned earlier is just approaching STN now. Reach 910 from Mildenhall.

In addition to the seven scheduled military flights posted up for tomorrow by STN Ramp Rat, I believe there may also be a RCAF military A310 in as well.

A busy day.

Thanks. Didn't know it was updated predictively like that.

[Pesmog]

I think it depends if Ramp Rat has time to do it, but it is certainly very helpful when it is done.

[Pesmog]

There is a Dutch Air force 330 MRTT on its way , should be in breakfast time.

RAF ZZ334 departs at about the same time.
ZZ333 may make an appearance at some point for a quick 90 minute turnaround.

[Pesmog]

I know this may not strictly be military but there is an AN-124 due in today from the Antonov design bureau. It should park northside. 16:00 local is what my source reckons.

Update, now due 17:30.

Arrived as mentioned , UR-82008 , followed shortly after by voyager ZZ330
Cheers for the heads up

[Pesmog]

The UAE C17 that just left Fairford, which isn't climbing, may be on its way to STN for Fuel.

Update, now on approach.

Further update. I believe it is here until tomorrow lunchtime.

So departure tomorrow around 1200?

[Pesmog]

If I get to hear a more accurate time I will post it up. Also, keep an eye on the first post on this thread as RampRat sometimes posts the times there if he gets to hear them.

[Pesmog]

It looks like yesterdays C-17 is leaving 2pm onwards.

The second UAE C-17 due this morning from Geneva after 9am for a 2 hour stop, posted up by STN Ramp Rat, makes it another good day in an excellent month for C-17 enthusiasts!

[Pesmog]

Am hearing that there should be a UAE Air force Challenger in tomorrow lunchtime.

Leaves lunchtime Friday
