A long way for two quality numbers though 😉

If there was a problem with a GAT flight plan then a quick call to London Mil’ will soon see AF1 airborne but rest assured the ATC units will be aware of its movement.

If Biden is not arriving until late evening, your conundrum should be solved by going c), b) then a)
Sorry I meant will Biden do one of a,b,c,d

I am slightly tempted to go to Culdrose via Northolt and Exeter but what day? Saturday and come back Sunday? Long way for two

AF1 holding short of 28 : Sorry Airforce 1 can you refile your flight plan or fax a copy of your 1801 to 0775***""""

BBC suggests it could be 10 for Sunday, but what, if anything, will be happening then? As I said in another thread, why is the base closed so long if AF1 is in and back out again tomorrow?

It's a real conundrum with so many runners

Will he :-

a) Spend the night at Mildenhall
b) Go to Stansted
c) Go to Heathrow
d) Go to Newquay

Think I fancy option (a) as a good each way!

Just read above post about purple airspace in Cornwall so (d) is fancied

It was pointed out to me that 91-0303 F-15E is still in Mildenhall so could be part of the ceremony. You would have thought 84-0010 the king would be nailed on to visit?
Still time for it to drop in tomorrow :thumbs:

Or SECDEF. Next weeks meeting in Brussels is a NATO summit. That would allow both me and baz to be correct - "an" E-4 in Mildenhall, and "the" E-4 somewhere else.

Planning a 7 hour round trip on Thursday afternoon/evening for a few photos. If there are any road closures ie, folley rd or the mound could someone please report it, might save a looong car journey.
Thanks...
Thanks for any help

Does the 85 minute trip to Torquay show it's a chopper trip and AF1 stays at Mildenhall??

If he’s going by helo, then why doesn’t he go direct to Carbis bay? Why stop at Newquay?

I guess they have just factored in 30 minutes to allow for the inevitable flight plan difficulties 👍🤣🤣
