Cheers

If they are at Kugur on time at 18:20Z that will mean Lakenheath at about 20:20L

Mike, they are more likely to be at the front of the NOTAM, i.e. 30W at 14.20z. ETA Lakenheath on that basis would be around 17.45 - 18.00BST.

Note that today's KC-10 was due Prestwick around 18.00BST

Thanks I read it wrong , forgot it was more of a window so yes between 120 and 150 minutes from 30W to Lakenheath

Saturday's weather looks a bit pants

Sorry Slogen , but it’s 100% better than today’s, Poss sunshine,with moderate winds ,
Compared to low heavy clouds, and long rain showers.

Heard tankers grounded due to fog.

Post by **slogen51** » Sat May 04, 2019 10:22 am

After hail stones it is now a lot brighter north of Lakenheath

The fog at Niagara falls will clear by 07:00L according to the web

Where are FM vipers did they come up to Langley or Atlantic city for example?

And least one cell of FM are in Atlantic City waiting for the weather to improve

does anyone know what the F 16 FM at lakenheath are doing?
Flying, would be my guess

Probably a couple week deployment training alongside the SQNs at LN.

Could they be here for formidable shield? I'm sure I read somewhere there were some f16s over last time it took place?
