Columbus Day.

all off down to Pompey for the carrier

For those that want the choppers and 1 squadron of Hornets!!

From what I can see, the rest is almost exactly the same as the "Roosevelt" in March 2015.

Plus most of the E-2Ds

Since when did a Notam stating Mildenhall would be closed actually mean Mildenhall was closed though?

Well it is open sat for a B747 on the freight run

And when was Columbus day nearly a week?

Hardly - if you read the NOTAM it is from 5pm Friday to 5am Tuesday - just a long weekend.

I heard quite a few movements at the hall on Friday. Columbus Day is Monday.

Does bollo work on base all this info with telephone numbers.

Don't think he does but it is a NOTAM available online can't remember the site but an Internet search should get you there if you're interested.

Try NATS wedsite registration is free I get all notams both civil and military bases you can set up your own airfields using there airfield code ie Lakenheath is EGUL and Mildenhall EGUN and put dates in advance you can also get full up to date airways freqs and civil airports but not much in military other than there VHF freqs . Hope it helps you

Jim

Sorry it’s NATS AIS website forgot to say it gives airport info full information runways,phone numbers, freqs,opening times, etc

Jim

Cheers jim

Does anyone know if the three KC10s that are in/coming in are linked to the F18s at Lakenheath? Presumably they will be around all weekend if the base is closed?

Many thanks

KC-10s landing at the moment have brought the MO F-15s into Lakenheath tonight.

Ah okay thanks. Things are so boring on the west side of the country now all we can hope for is something interesting to pop through the Lichfield corridor! There is only so much excitement you can get from MRTTs and Junos.

Cheers, have a good evening!

Sounds interesting any pointers on what's on the cards or is it all based stuff ? I

Despite this theres lots of flights today

As I have already pointed out and as posted in the first post, the NOTAM takes effect at 17:00 today so yes there will be activity today.

And now the KC has departed Mildenhall is now closed untill the next KC departs with the next cell of MOs of todays comes back .
