I assume this is a 1st having all three US Bomber types here at the same time?
Is a B1 & a B52 staying at Fairford for RIAT or are they going Home then returning in July?

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but can anyone confirm if there will be any movements over this weekend ?
Thanks in advance

Unlikely to be staying for air tattoo. Can't imagine they would want bombers sat around doing nothing for 2 weeks.

Don't believe anything has been confirmed (apart from Cosford airshow participation I think). There were weekend movements during the last exercise though.

Hi Gooner.

A B-1 and a B-52 are listed to do a flypast at RAF Cosford airshow on Sunday. So they will launch and recover for that at some point in the day.

Pretty sure it was mentioned in an article that the aircraft involved in this exercise would then attend RIAT.

Wouldn't mind knowing if we can expect the B-2s to depart tomorrow.

I'm unable to get to FFD next week due to work, but would love to spend a few hours over this weekend. Although a Bone and Buff departure/arrival are due on Sunday, is love to catch a Spirit or 2

According to information from a very reliable source, Monday is a no fly/press day.

Depends what the NOTAM at viewtopic.php?f=139&p=906299#p906299 is for - as it could well be for B-2s.
