Thanks Martin, yes I should have clicked on, especially with them using Marine Callsigns.
Fairly busy day today, looks like Tornado due for PM flight, hopefully!

Typhoon was out on slot 25, 358 fltline southside, for ground runs. Finished 1400z and towed back in 358H. Not sure on callsign could have been a "Tango xx" used when conducting ground runs.

Re: Feb 2018 Mon 5/2 delayed ferry flt

Post by TombsRIP » Mon Feb 05, 2018 10:27 am

As expected omani typhoons ZR406/RAFO215/(NS006) & ZR407/RAFO216/(NS007) on MTA now prepping for ferry flt. Looking like a 07 departure not ideal with the cloud cover at moment even from the field off Bush Lane , 25 end. Thought blue skies had been forecast!

Update: Tarnish 01 Flt shutting down 1040z. Flt plan cancelled (for now)

Update: Departed 1229(30)z off 07. WTN01 flt. Climb FL450 (1231z)

Re: Feb 2018 Mon 5/2 cont/d ZK424 on airtest

Post by TombsRIP » Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:38 pm

ZK424 (BS140) T/o 1526z flown by WTN09. Initially to FL400 with Mode C & swk emerg checks. Hex code 43C7A1. Note: serial given incorrectly as a T3 ZK379 on "Alberts" ModeS site. Recovered via ILS 25 then a single SRA 07 landing 1610z. Obviously next RAF typhoon for delivery.

Re: Feb 2018 Mon 5/2 cont/d ZR408 on flt6

Post by TombsRIP » Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:52 pm

WTN69 up in ZR408/RAFO217(NS008) at 1633z in what may be another pfat rather than a ferry shakedown. Now painted of course ( last flew 29/01/18 painted).
Performed 2xSRAs rwy 07 for benefit of ATC training with low overshoots 1734z & 1742z. Then circuits landing 1753z (after at least one t&g and 2 low o/shoots).

ZK430 is on pfat2. First flt was on 26th Jan and lasted about 35mins obviously cut short by issue with Tarnish 5 straight in to land.
