Morning all

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

Many thanks

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

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