Mytee 51

[Thunder]

My bad, it wasn’t 60-0034 but 61-0034/MT, I’ve corrected it above, sorry for any confusion.

Todays B-52's were

61-0002/LA
61-0034/MT

HTH's

FYI MYTEE52 was filed as 610035... Do you have visual confo of 61-0034 ? According to FPL it didn't land in the UK and routed KRCA-KBAD.

No reg shown for MYTEE51 on same route.

Photographs released by the USAF Stratcom show 1034 taxiing for take off at an undisclosed location and 1002 climbing out of what I presume to be the same location. Wasn’t 61-0002 confirmed on the airwaves as being so?

Photographs released by the USAF show 1034 taxiing for take off at Minot, and 1002 climbing out of I presume Barksdale. Wasn’t 61-0002 confirmed on the airwaves?

They came out of KRCA according to FPL data and the co-ords in the log match. KRCA is Ellsworth. Minot is over 300 miles to the north. Mix up somewhere?

I presumed it was Minot, but could easily have been Ellsworth. Not sure if B-1’s are taking part in Global Thunder but could be the case that they’ve located all exercise assets at a central location?

Maybe simulating dispersal of the B-52 force.
