I'd say to Qatar if it's heading that way.

I like living under the flightpath to Mildenhall, but sometimes there is a downside, like at 0200, 0300, 0400 and 0430 this morning!

Yes, forgot Raider 09 departed , required a lot of cooperation from Swanwick to overcome flight plan issues

Might as well add that 61-0310 Wisconsin is still here as mentioned in the RCH section , I saw it towed past Folly road to the maintenance hangars on Saturday.

Youth,
Your lack of compassion for your fellow man does you no credit at all. The majority of people around the world just want to be left in peace to follow their own way of life within the rules.
Religious extremists have no felling at all for those who do not share their views, and are utterly merciless. Like many on here, I know people who have lost sons fighting these people, so please, keep your petty spite to yourself. It has no place here.
