B-1 arrival Discussion.

So, south-west bomber bays - h/s 46 to 60, leaving plenty of space even in that limited area for more! Fingers crossed . . . . !

I believe the Northern loop is reopen again after a considerable amount of time closed due to the overall state of the hard stands which have been totally re laid. So maybe not the SW loop as has become the norm over the last few years.

Ground support and maintenance buildings are in the SW loop area - not likely they would park the bombers nearly 2 miles away at the other end of the base.

Is there no facilities at the Northern loop?

No.

[Ghost from above]

They may well use the North east end following the refurb and extension of the parking pans with hydrant fuelling facilities

Good info folks

[exatco]

Info: dreadful weather over there. Several days now. Traffic diverting everywhere. Have a look at Dallas and other majors' arrival lists on FR24.

Do we know if there is any equipment out on the hardstanding yet?

They’ll arrive when they arrive. Best for us to do is keep monitoring and eventually we’ll notice when they’re on route.

Too quiet out there...

Was kind of hoping they'd coincide their arrival with the show at Abingdon, a cheeky three ship fighting wing flypast on their way in

[Boneyard1]

Well done,Mike!

[GVLCN]

Technically speaking they can arrive upto next Friday & still be in time for their exercise

[Amp]

VLCN, so not necessarily "by Monday" then

[Arran J]

Would this be more likely in the afternoon or morning would we know?
So i can chance it and book the time off work ahh

[KevinJ]

Either book the whole day off or wait until they're here and flying daily!

[PeteHemsley]

They were also confirmed for last week!

As for putting days off in, just wait. They're here for up to 4 weeks to take part in defender. Relax
