Re: Joint Warrior - sit rep Thursday 1820 pm

Post by JPXN458 » Thu Apr 09, 2015 5:33 pm

Hi All

Stocky has just reported, at 1820, that following are visible at Leeming...

Main ASP: Three HH-60's in place...205/208/353 probably as previously reported, but not confirmed...205 was read off departing North(by me) at about 3pm today.

Northern Taxi-way: 2 x C-160s and 1 x C130. There are ONLY FOUR F-16's in place at this time, the middle one of the five that were parked there is not visible...most likely in a HAS...

From my pictures this afternoon this is the landing order, and hence the order they taxied onto the Northern taxiway...

92-0024 F-16D
91-0022 F-16D
89-0025 F-16C
91-0018 F-16C
88-0034 F-16C

So from this info I shall suggest that 89-0025 is the missing F-16...but that is ONLY from my picture order...I do think that they will be readable from arious places along the fence line...

Cheers Stocky

Hope the info is useful to anyone travelling

Regards

Paul Greig

I believe the F16's are due to stretch the wings today according to Leeming ground crew - what time I do not know - but has not been confirmed - JW briefing is this morning

Hi Folks

Quick check on Saturday at Leeming c11am found no F16 outside.

3 x HH60's all LN codes '212' '353' and one that was either 205 6 or 8(which are all LN!)

May save someone a trip.

Mike.

Hi Dave,
JW is due to start tomorrow 12th April and end on 24th April.
You never know what Leeming might get but I think that's all we'll get as its be published elsewhere.
The F-16s will no doubt stay till then and the transports will be in on the Friday and leave on the afternoon.

There is another JW in October so the Greece F-16s might return then.

Regards

Gary

Monday - just seen 4 F-16s turning finals from the North.

Would estimate on the ground between 14.45 and 14.50

Will have a look round to see if I can work out the serials (otne etc.)

Cheers,
