DRAGON 21 routing via Valley/MAC

DRAGON21 Returning to Beale AFB

10.29 DRAGON 21 up on 280.350

Although given direct Valley you can see that he turned for MAC quite early and departed via N Wales coast

80-1093 still has the horizontal stabilizers of a 1968 FY U-2 - horizontal ribbing above and below the front half of the stabilizers to dampen vibration. This isn't a feature of the FY1980 a/c but they've been fitted to 093 for several years.

Ah damn it….. right over my house while I’m at work
At least my PP setup should have helped with the tracking.

I was out too , but he was too far west in broken cloud anyway.

There was a time when both inbounds and outbounds would route via WAL , but of late they avoid me .
