Heard a rumour at Fairford about some exotic transport aircraft into Mildenhall this Wednesday 13/7. It did sound a bit. Unlikely but thought I would ask if anyone else heard something similar?

When you say 'exotic', what exactly do you mean... :S
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

hi

mentioned at RIAT - purely rumour as far as I am concerned - I do not have access to any inside info - just wondered if it sounded plausable

Just read on the web that phases of exercise Steppe Eagle are to be held in the UK this year in July.

I did hear this rumour about 10 days ago, but was reluctant to post anything as the source was unknown.

The rumour had it that one An72 and 2 x CN295s were due into the 'hall today.

You would think any troop movements would be by C-17 but maybe the KAZAF are keen to get involved to demonstrate their capabilities and have a night out in Norwich.

I think they would rather head South to London than have a night out in Norwich!

Hi

At 1155 there are a couple of civilian Kazakh CRJ airliners inbound so I guess if the transports are coming they won't be far behind.

03 and 04 Red 2x CN295 are parked on the terminal ramp.

Looks like an AN-72 is due at 15:00L according to heads up and VRS. It was over Berlin at 12:50 so I would guess a bit after 15:00

Edit: it is over Arnhem at 13:40 so looks to be before three o'clock.

07 Red AN-72 arrived at 14:25 looking very smart in its Kazakhstan Government scheme .
