Cheers

I am slightly surprised that Grim 1/2 didn't come back from Ghedi with Rambo?

[LN Strike Eagle]

Do we have any idea how long the A-4s will be hanging around? I’m hoping they might still be here in the first week of December.

On the A4 question, I'm not there is more than the single often featured Special Tail currently in residence? '495' was seen operating out of & back to Nordholz this morning, apparently unconnected with LN opreations?

C-FGZT/542 is the special tail currently at Lakenheath.

C-FGZE/495 had been at Lakenheath, but went back for what was reported at the time as 100 hour maintenance a few weeks back and hasn't returned since, not a special tail.

Hopefully that helps.

Grim 01 returned to LN today, unsure if solo or if the other F35 was with it.

[slogen51]

Looking at the 20/11 movements thread I believe both Grim 01/02 arrived back separately

[Supra]

Hopefully that helps.

Thanks for the confirmation.

The A-4 was due to fly today with the Alphas but it went tech just before the Alphas launched

[AlexanderClover]

C-FGZT/542 Departed today back to Germany for it's phased maintenance. C-FGZE/495 returned in it's place.

Nordholz is the base mate, Cuxhaven is the town

Confusing - I just watched 4 Alphajets take off -057 069 038 and 040

I assume 040 has just gone home today?

[AlexanderClover]

Yeah, I got told it was going yesterday. Clearly had a snag!

[slogen51]

You hear all sorts of things at Lakenheath best to use the MK1 eyeball and or radio
