[slogen51]

16:31z Ascot 9402 checking in on Gander Center a flight of Three
Cleared to Lajes

So 4 chicks between the two Voyagers - how many Typhoons at Nellis?

[rh226]

Only three Typhoons, Mike.....ZK375/376/433

[slogen51]

Cheers

Wait and see what turns up

I need ZK433 and I have visited Coningsby 4 times in the last six months

[rh226]

They have been out there for getting on for 10 months now (29/04/2019)

[slogen51]

Wow that's a long time

The F-35B left Marham as Ascot 9804-9808 but Typhoons use that range as well

I don't want to be told off for guessing but just for fun I will guess at 2 x F-35B with ZZ337 Ascot 9402

Gutted! Saw Ascot 9402 landing but missed the chicks on Lpla webcam

Did see a Spanish P-3 landing after the Voyager

Hi FF,

These were the three doing Red Flag.

One might have done, Ian. The other four are currently on the deck at Lajes....see NOTAM thread.

So one of the 35’s must have gone tech then

[slogen51]

Marham is open because some eagles told about 2 F-35 in the East Anglia MTA

Doom flight arbourne at 9:00

[Thunderbolt II]

Have heard 2 to arrive at 1555 and two at 1635, but that's far from confirmed and should be treated with caution.
