Re: Movements 19/10/2023
Should have flown over Tallinn by now if the USAF announcement is local time not Z. Any tracking info?
Re: Movements 19/10/2023
According to this should be flying over in cloud about now Tallinn 5pm, UK 3pm.

Based on the fact that BLACK01 is now just under 2 hours from home , and the B1 will not be far behind , plus the lack of any [so far] extended field NOTAM I would guess that BLACK01 will arrive around 1740L with HOWLER around 1800.

Howler 41 just passed south of Odense...he is somewhat faster than Black01 by 200kph so could be a close call as to who lands first

Re: Movements 19/10/2023
Loud jet heading south over Waddington - similar to this morning, B1 routing home?

Should be getting rather noisy over Gloucester
Re: Movements 19/10/2023
'Black 01' is the callsign of the U-2 which operates usually five days a week from Fairford, it's reported in the UK Heads-up/OTT section and today's mission is here :- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=237596&p=1548147#p1548147

Visual towards Cheltenham @17:31 so just under 10 mins to landing. Loud and low.
Re: Movements 19/10/2023
Heads-up for you red leader This callsign ONLY features pretty much every weekday under the Fairford sub-section of Spotters Area - Serials and Airfield Logs on this Forum!
Keep watching as it's #2 to land after 'Howler 41' is down.
