I managed to get a brief position fix, but you need a receiver that can interpret Mode A/C so you can use Beamfinder (Plus)Steveb23 wrote:How come the Buffs don't show on Planeplotter?

Where abouts?
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
It's just come up here to get a good wash
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Well if he comes up to Inverness he'll get dried.
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Unidentified large a/c approx 5miles West of Inverness heading low level South West parallel to the Great Glen, is this him?
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Why are you putting this here when there is a Heads Up/OTT for it.
Exercise Sabre Strike has not started yet, these bombers are not on the exercise yet so their movements shouldn't be posted in here until then, surely?

Lets see what happens tomorrow afternoon :-)SamP wrote:I, like many, am sick of all the misinformation and speculation that seems to be surrounding this Exercise. That said, I couldn't let this go...
The Atlas B747F coming in from Whiteman was certainly a tease, although what Tony & OpsJockey have explained is entirely plausible, the GPUs could be universal ones and I believe no B-2 specific support equipment was seen being unloaded from it.
That said, the cargo unloaded from the 747 was all put in the B-2 hangars for storage, as opposed to towed over to the B-52 pans. (Not that the three Buffs need any more equipment than they already have!)
And I'm pretty sure the National B757 (Which is not cargo, but a full passenger configuration) does appear to have come from Whiteman, as this FR24 replay clearly shows it climbing out of the Missouri area... http://www.flightradar24.com/data/fligh ... 6/#37eed58
The cargo, fair enough. But bringing crews over from Whiteham? I can't see they've got much to do at Fairford with the current aircraft that are on the deck.
