USMC FA-18 Rumour

[britaylor]

Any times for the F15Es might be a busy day ??

[oscar01]

F-15Es will be in 2 waves, 8 on 3rd, and 4 on 5th.

[crashman]

As it stands at the moment there are 2 KC10's and 2 KC135's involved in what i believe will be the F18 movment.

Blue 21 KC10 arriving MHZ Thursday 1500L from Sigonella, departing Sat 1100L dragging fighters all the way to the states.

Blue 22 100ARW KC135's departs 1100L in support of Blue 21.

Blue 11 KC10 arriving from Sigonella Saturday 1800L draging fighters. with 100ARW KC135 Blue 12 in support (departing MHZ 1100L)

Blue 11 KC10 Depating MHZ for the states Monday 1345L dragging fighters.

There is a Blue 87 due into MHZ on sunday dragging fighters from Souda due 1400L i suspect this is for the 48TH FW.

This is as it stands at the moment, and could change so dont shoot the messanger.

Callsigns of the F/A-18s will be Mazda61/71 fligths.

Thanks all for the info on the Hornets, an early start required on Saturday I think!

[baz1]

so as it stands F18s arrive at EGUL at 1400Z, in that case I may well have a trip over, last time I saw USMC hornits
was at the hall many years ago!

[burnsy133]

Only six will now arrive on Thursday, the following six will arrive on Saturday which is when the first six will depart !

[crashman]

I am told there is a KC135 arriving at Mildenhall tomorrow then on leacing will be dragging 3 x F18's to Lajes, TABOR 11-13 Flight. its callsign will be Reach 604. it will also be supported by Reach063 out of ETAD. so some of them may not be comming to the UK at all.

[oscar01]

These are the Growlers that went on exercise in Czech / Slovak (can't recall anymore). Nothing to do with Mazda61/71

i agree oscar01. listen the hornets was nothing to do with joint warrior ever.they are coming back from deployment and going home i believe the two waves will be in lakenheath on thursday and out on friday.you can shoot me for this.apart from going tech as they are legacy hornets.

Try Saturday morning,can someone borrow me a gun.

6 USMC Hornets from VMFA-314 WERE due at Lossie this Friday for a short stay, working with one of the resident Typhoon squadrons. In addition they WERE planned to take part in JW14-2, conducting a few sorties over the first few days of the exercise prior to departing on the 8th of October. This is a fact and will hopefully stop the tittle/tattle of those members who think they know more than others! The Lossie trip is no longer happening, hence I am happy to post the info.

Thread locked until it can be sorted out and the crap removed. The forum will not stand for childish name calling etc.

[Zymurgy661]

Topic cleaned and reopened. Keep it civil and on topic please.
