Nothing showed up - may have been open as a diversion base for something.

As at 0800L this morning the 767 hasn't materialised, N740CK is over the Atlantic south of Gander and N709CK is over Maryland.

As I pointed out in The Fighter Contro Mess - Mildenhall Closure and Fairford Base - Notam 20/9 Dragon 21, we might be seeing a dramatic change in US posture; the question is, is it short or long term bomber deployments into Fairford? A big deployment sends out a clear message. Have a nice revisionist Cold Day.
