Hi All

Courtesy of the Reach flights section on FC is the following:
RCH109 C17 90062 [AE0808] is enroute from KSZL Whiteman to CYQX. They requested weather for EGXE Leeming while at Whiteman so pretty likely we will see this one at Leeming later today.
Regards

Neither of the flights appeared to have dropped off any "little birds", only people and containers as far as I could tell

The viewing area will probably be closed,can't for the life of me,
work out why,prohaps someone more local could explain,but seems
to be the norm when it's the time people would want to use it.
Glad they don't have the same ill logical thinking at Coningsdy/Lakenheath.

Think it's normally closed on a weekend...during the week it should be open.
They have shut it before for a certain special service
