If the coding is correct, this appears to be the airframe that went home very recently after tech problems. Had different nose config.

Usually D21/31 only following e/b dep from Fairford .(tomorrow ?). NOTAM [to 1500L] believed also covering Mytee flt divert option and poss FAA flight tracker

It seems virtually every U2 hexcode has at least 2 aircraft associated with it, I wonder if the hex box is fitted in a removable mission pod or pack and they fit them as required to any serviceable aircraft if the original goes tech?

Hmm.......80-1085 was last recorded Eastbound departing Fairford on 12/01/2018.

No record of it coming back......unless it was airfreighted back to Beale. Would have thought it extremely unlikely that it returned the long way round.

Could this be 80-1086 with a tatty serial? '086 has used AE0968 before.

Hi Guys,
Did FLC85 turn up........

Thanks for any help......

[big john]

Not today, as the Notam about the ILS has been taken down I presume everything checked out ok yesterday.

Also interesting to note that 80-1085 today had a standard nose cone, no SYERS equipped.
