Is this UK time? so leave USA at 9pm there time tonight, so land at FFD 9-10am ish?


That's even if it is related to the B-1's which it might not be! Relax, at least 1 person on the forum will cover it, and I am sure if you keep refreshing FC, you will see when they're on their way, then the mass pandemonium can begin :whistle: They will be here for a while, everyone will get a chance.
I've tried this approach, it didn't work.
Mental you only really get this on FFD Deployments, rarely with LN etc. etc. Anyone would think they will arrive and never be seen again!

Any chance this speculation thread can be locked until they actually get here, tin hat on.

Which is why it’s been locked since he posted it. I’ve only just unlocked it and now you’ve sent a notification to everyone subscribed to this forum who when they click on it will find more useless and unnecessary information :lol:

Things are going to get Spicy soon enough. Be patient and keep posts to a minimum adding factual & useful information to the topic when you do post please.

As the Tuesday topic was closed already, yes, this is actual flightplan info, eta 21:18Z, should be 22:18 Local time if I'm not mistaken. Seems like they will fly a very long mission first as their departure is planned at 22:20Z today

Here's hoping the long mission will mean an arrival from the East and over my gaff which is under the Dav RC

Given where they’re going tomorrow, a very good chance you’ll be in luck.
It will be an arrival from the east, and most likely somewhere over/near your gaff

No tankers going live yet, unless they're launching in the dark, which I'd say is unlikely.

It literally says here the B-1s aren't due to laucnh until 23:20L and the Air Res for refuelling isn't until 03:00L, so it's a bit early yet!

Well that’ll be because it’s 23:20… :lol: They’re bang on time. Good to see them using ADS-B! Mode-S AE6BEE

Now the bones are here, could I ask if the U-2s are likely to leave? Or is it a more permanent deployment?
New(ish) to the forums, any tips welcome!
