NOTAM 26/08/2019 - B-2s DEATH 11/12/13 Arrive

[xkekeith]

Rumour on Facebook 'DEATH11/12' due 00:30 ............. no other details given.

[Jodelflyer]

I see the Notam is still active till 12:45z so it still "appears" there might be something else coming in later, but I am not in the know so will keep an eye on this thread tonight, trust the wind to be westerly as I won't even hear or see anything land over South Cerney. Fingers crosed for some B2 activity over the coming few weeks.

See the post above, Jodel.

Saw this on another forum too, due in around 00:30, also heard they are here for a month, don't shoot the messenger..

Have spoken to a few guys deployed here and it’s for a “while”

What difference does that make, it's already been posted they are arriving at 00.30

[Seacat192]

There's a post on page 1 giving times for a NOTAM at Whiteman AFB being open between 11am and mid-day UK time earlier today, but all depends on what routing they take to Fairford - but the ETA a few posts above is 0030 tomorrow morning

Looks like a 3-4 hours have gone missing if the arrival time is 00.30. Maybe a bit of nightime work on a range somewhere East ?

Well that's the risk you take isn't it! As they aren't coming direct to Fairford, the time it takes from Whiteman to there is totally irrelevant.
And the risk is also true if they scrub which they could do at any point in their flight.

It's about a five hour flight time from Newfoundland to London so would expect the B2 s to come straight to fairford before the NOTAM closes as they will be in UK airspace by about 23:00 leaving only 105 minutes for fun in European air space.

Believe it or not Ollie, there will be quite a crowd there tonight! (I won't be amongst them though that's for sure!)
