All 3 B-2s seemed to have stayed out all night. No activity at 0630.

[richpittman]

Are they all parked north side ?

[Dave Holman]

Two north.

[Bobble]

Third airframe is on the south side near the 27 threshold.

Possibly taking part in tomorrows GP missions so could be a down day ???

[profile_m]

FFD tower did some radio checks a few minutes ago, not sure if that indicates anything?

Setting up for an all nighter?

Hi there - Oh how I wish the daily flight routine could be made available but many thanks for the extra info!! Is a Global Power mission confirmed for tomorrow?

[big john]

They will not be taking part in any exercises or missions. They are only here for training and familiarisation purposes. See official statement from their press office.

He's possibly just putting 2 & 2 together from tomorrow's ALTRV's posted here? viewtopic.php?f=139&t=180285

The westbound one is for tomorrow evening the 5th. and the Eastbound one is for tonight the 4th. Ignore the second that's probably something for the middle east. Tomorrows one could be for them going home? and today is a packing day.

I thought it was mentioned last Friday that they were here for possibly up to two months, seems very strange that 5 days on some have them going home???

What was actually said the press conference?

Take it as it comes, on their first flying day folks were saying one was going home....it went to keflavik and back, and monday as they used death callsigns folks again were saying they were going home....and they promptly returned and flew again...!! Easiest thing is if you wanna see em, go see em before they do actually go!

[Thunder]

Yeah but it doesn’t help those that may need to travel several hundred miles to see them and need to plan ahead. All very aware that military a/c have their own agenda and things can and do change at short notice, but idle speculation doesn’t help us enthusiasts, exactly what’s been happening over on CW threads as well.

Just forget about the NOTAMs. They are routing Eastbound down into, and Westbound back from, France.

[Rob666]

When are they going up today?

[Thunder]

Currently no NOTAM up for runway opening, so I wouldn't expect anything this afternoon. However I've seen NOTAM's go up with less than an hours notice in the past.
