That's interesting as this could indicate you can expect two flights on both Friday and Sunday...

Hi very intestine stuff thanks for sharing info much appreciated just one thing lsreal f16s were and when please thanks raptor22

I now know that lsreal f16s have nothing to do with this exercise but understand going to lakenheath

Where did the mention/idea of Israeli F-16's come from?

[Raptor22]

Hi maybe I got it wrong but on second post halfway down it says 8xA10 Leeming 6xf16 heath also 2xAc 130 to heath also that's were I got from sorry if this is confusing raptor22

Hi All
I cannot believe no one has posted that 5 MH-6's were off loaded from one of the C-17's yesterday!

The first C-17 of the day produced the following Little Birds:
25362
25373
25361
25354
and possibly 25319...that one needs to be confirmed next week when they start flying!
Thanks to Andy and Don for their clear scopes!
Regards

I imagine that nobody has posted them because very few people could read them. Apart from with a really good scope and and eyes far better than mine. Anyway thanks for posting them now.

If Runway 34 is in use, which is the best spot for photos, thanks.

After consulting Joe Baugher and Scramble, I can come up with the following for the FYs
89-25354 - AH-6J
90-25361 - MH-6M per Scramble, but AH-6G (converted from MH-6M) per Joe Baugher. Note that Scramble also have an earlier sighting as FY96.
90-25362 - AH-6J
??-25373 - MH-6M FY96 per Scramble, but Joe Baugher does not list this.

??-25319 - Scramble do not list anything with this serial. So, definitely needs to be confirmed.

They now appear to be arriving Monday.

[fs9demon]

So they're definitely not turning up today? Because I can see Clean22 heading out over Scotland atm
