Very Loooooong shot, 13 June 1994

Post by FISHER01 » Mon Dec 03, 2018 1:33 pm

On this day 13-06-1994 (in the afternoon) a B-1B flew over my hometown Enschede in East Holland at very low level, but heading NW. Until today this one is still unknown to me and some buddy's.

All we know his Callsign was Knighter47

At that time there where 4 B-1B's at Fairford:
84-0057
85-0072
86-0103
86-0112

Some useful info on Ex Central Enterprise on the RAF Fairford USAF history page (credit to them), the Lancers were using the ranges in NL, 0057 Hellion was flying in that period as diverted to Rhein Main, but someone on here might be more precise on the 13th, over to you Graham!

It was 86-0112 Jos, Dep Fairford 1212 local and arrived back at 1611 local. It was the only one of the 4 which flew in the afternoon.

cheers,
Graham.
