Saudi F15s

Post by Blackcat1 » Mon Mar 03, 2025 10:13 am

Morning all

Just wondering if the Saudi F15s will be staying any longer at Waddington after Cobra Warrior finishes?

Many thanks
Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Not quite answering your question but I believe the Turkish F16s are due to participate in Ex Ramstein Flag and basing themselves at Fairford (with KC135 tanker.) I haven’t seen any mention of the Saudis staying on so presume they will depart home post CW.

Cheers, Danny

Well we’ve seen a Turkish flypast at Newcastle…..was rather expecting the Saudis given their NUFC links! :clap:

Keep an eye out for 2x Saudi tankers positioning somewhere - maybe France as per the drag here?
