FighterControl

During the last B-52 Deployment to RAF Fairford, I was able track the aircraft en-route to the North Sea and upon their return too.
This enabled me to get out in my garden and see/photograph them as they flew over Cambridgeshire.
With this B1 deployment, if they squawk at all it's not until they are over the North Sea (if at all)

Can anyone provide typical take off and landing times/days for this deployment? (it was always around the same time for the BUFFs)

Please don't move to the OTT area as I'll not be able to see it or any replies and please don't suggest I drive down to Fairford as I only have one useable arm at the moment. I will be at RIAT but I fear that these will be long gone!

Cheers

Just trying to help...

There are no typical times. These are not easyJet flights to Marbella.

The B-52 times weren't at all consistent.

Thanks Stellaproblem,

I hadn't seen that blog before, if nothing else it gives an indication of average activity times which helps with planning a visit

Two B1s have just flown over Exeter 20:12 at low level for Fairford.

Nice sight in the sunshine.
