I have been told there will be no bomber deployment to Fairford this June. This is info I have been given so don't shoot the messenger.

Lancers remain grounded - must have been a factor.

They started returning these to flight in late April. Maybe there never was a June Exercise?

No June deployment...?

Looks like we are down to occasional U2 rotations for a while. I've put a clip of Dragon21 landing earlier this week in the Vid section or ---->

Soooo, nothing to Fairford in support of Baltops Exercise this year? Please arrange 'poor' & 'persist' into a bad update!

Ex Baltops (3-21 June) clearly different this year in that U.S.2nd Fleet leading U.S. participation . Ex Saber Strike not slated this year (U.S. Army led , normally overlaps with Baltops , and usually supported by Fairford bomber deployment). There is an Ex Saber Guardian but no details yet on U.S.Army website . All suggests 'no bombers at Fairford in June this year' could be correct .
