Notam 27/08/2019

[Pionion]

Is it safe to assume this is for another inbound dragon? To do the swap-over.

i don't think it's safe to assume anything, given that we have 3 B2s that stayed the night, and a U2 doing circuits, both not 'normal' events to some extent

[thevulcan]

Any sign of whatever the NOTAM was extended for?

[Coasties]

Dragon01 airborne for more circuits

[reaper493]

Possible daft question, but when the U2 are doing circuits, do they still have the chase cars to guide them down on each approach?

thanks

[thevulcan]

Any idea how long these circuits will be going on for?

Last lot was an hour, this could well be same and end 30 mins before the extended notan expires

Notam expires at 15:00L not 14:00L just to let you know

They should do, good training for all involved.

[city42]

Maybe this iis to do with a U2 deployment getting use to the airfield

Yes they are using the chase car for every approach

[Coasties]

Dragon01 has just landed for a full stop

[thevulcan]

Appears to be some activity by the B2? A lot of vehicles and personal next to the partially open hangar.
I know the NOTAM closes soon but what's the chance of a sneaky one added later?

[Undertaker]

which U-2 was it today, the local Fairford blog has 80-1080 but also 80-1070 as still here ?

[thevulcan]

Spirit of Georgia s hangar now completely open.

Edit: Just repositioned so cannot see the hangar is there anymore activity?
