Readiness Exercise

Post by LN Strike Eagle » Mon Oct 01, 2018 5:01 am

Base has put out an announcement regarding increased flying operations from Oct 1st-3rd.

http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/raf-lakenhea ... -1-5716588

Don't suppose ATIS is broadcasting yet to know which runway is in use today? Forecasts show a crosswind.

As much as I like aircraft, living on the 24 approach, it's about time they stopped - some of us need to sleep :grr:
