They are saying open until the Hornets arrive.

Probably not stay open for the CC150 though!

Mentioned in this link that they are close to CG 5 which I believe is the Harmston End.

They should be parked on/around Bay 19 which is where the Belgians were in March.

yes and the old viewing area map in the Waddington Section needs to be updated to avoid any confusion for anyone viewing it who as not been to Waddington before!

Hi all

I know exercise participants fly most days but are exercise days usually every other day?

Thanks

They are usually every other day, but the NOTAMs this time suggest the exercise runs every day.

Many thanks Mike. So the D323s Notams are up for every day? Haven't checked yet as I'm in work .

There are 8 actual exercise days, 3 the first week, 2 the second, 3 the last.
There will of course still be some flying on non-exercise days.
