Exercise Saber Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion

[Andy_99]

Being new to looking at NOTAM's as I'm reading it this means the Runway is open tomorrow.
If so Brize for the flypast split followed by Fairford for me & the lad.

Jeez if I tell him there may be some US Bomber action he'll have me there for 07:30 :-)

What's the Parking situation like at the moment, I know it's busy but we don't mind taking a stroll.

All the best

Andy

PS I must take my hat off to all those who've provided top notch coverage this week.

That NOTAM is for today, not tomorrow - they are posted on the morning of the action, not the afternoon.

Furthermore, see this document redarding QBF: http://www.gliding.co.uk/documents/ACN-2014-06-0302.pdf - split appears to be over RAF Northolt, so you may see very little at Brize, other than the aircraft returning of course!

Oh Well

[markwillis]

I'd like to know this as well. Been darn working all weeke and reading this forum every night is killing me! It's a few hours drive and I know it can be hit or miss. Might have to just head down very early and wait It out.

Runway 27 end is best for take off shots, anyone else going to chance it? Tempted but its a long journey to see nothing move.

Sammy,

If you are using a sat nav to get there try Washpool Lane, Fairford GL7 4NJ

This is the lane just off the main road at the 27 end where most people park.

Hope this is of use, Steve

[GVLCN]

Best way to tell is if there is a notam up? I haven't seen one yet

[nick197]

No Notam up yet.

[rva65]

Perhaps they will have a day off as it's the weekend, off for a bit of shopping at Swindon Outlet Village hahaha!

[Rory]
