Spirit 2 has departed, the thread is here:- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=99018

[buzzer]

There is already a thread in heads up/OTT for movements related to this ex - viewtopic.php?f=8&p=620168#p620168 - please keep all movements in that thread

Come off it, every bit of useless information is in there, there are some of us that stay out and about that want to know where these guys are routing and location if possible

That's a rather unfriendly response

Not to sure where to look now for there movements.Theres post everywhere
Thought all movements once departed or on route to, should be posted in the heads up section.or am I mistaken again

Not unfriendly at all, it's fact. However I agree with you on the latter the whole B-52/B-2 thing is now a complete mess due to people either being unable to read or just down right stupid. Keep the general discussions in the Fairford section and once they start engines/taxi/take off start a new thread in the OTT section and keep to the facts, tonight we had Spirit2 over Northern Scotland yet someone said they heard it over Coningsby 5 mins before hand, is it a B2 or SR71 reincarnated?

Okay, we're getting threads and posts all over the place and it really isn't helping anyone track anything...

I've had a chat with the guys and we think the best way of doing this is that any information about an aircraft on the ground (such as jets being pulled out, or prepared) and any advanced movement information (including ETD's and ETA's) or discussion can be posted here.

Once an aircraft is airborne, be it a departure or an arrival it should be posted under the Heads Up/OTT section, we would like one thread per mission... and all posts related to that mission in that thread.

Any problems, drop one of us a PM.

Spot on Mike However do you want a bet on long before someone asks "how long are they here for" on tomorrows missions thread (if there are any missions)

[nick197]

Now this isn't 100% certain as i may have miss heard them, I'm pretty sure i heard the B52 crew say it was an early start tomorrow at 05:30 so 06:30 local. It might be worth keeping an eye out for an early Notam.

Spot on Mike, having a dedicated thread for each flight makes it so much easier to track, and add info.

A video with a little bit about the deployment posted on YouTube by the USAF global strike command https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6HmeeE ... WBwxG-Lfmw including a slightly different patch to the one mentioned at the start of this thread

[Richard de Florennes]

sorry in case I pose this question in a wrong Topic as the B-2s are apparently not directly related to "Saber Strike" but does anybody have an (fact-based?) idea when the B-2s will depart back home? While I did not finy this Information within this Forum, according to "Scramble.nl" they are only here for this week and somebody informed me of a (rumoured?) departure date being Sunday 15 June. Any helpful comments?

[Andrew45]

Fairford.. Spirit 2 has just landed

[ST24]

Hi all, just wondering what rwy they're using- have assumed due wind direction and from snippets on here the buffs are going out on 09 and B-2s on 27, with recoveries on 27?? Thanks for any info.
