Sept 2019 Log/Movements

[chrisward123]

Please can we keep all Logs/Movements in this thread.

14:25L - As TombsRIP has mentioned Fighter & Target both up.

2xtyphoon up at moment using callsigns "Fighter" + "Target" (flown by WTN69). Single seat seen on c/out 1425L most likely the "Fighter". At a guess 2 of the 41 TES marked jets with Target possibly ZK303/AX (BT017). Neither showing on adsbexchange. Currently operating between FL400-450. I'm sure someone will correct me if otherwise.

OTT/Local
15:36L - 99-0004 (C-32A/USAF) @34k ft (over Southport>West)
16:26L - 87-0042/RCH477 (C-5M/USAF) Heading SSSE @35k ft

"Target" joined from the nth, crosswind then downwind 25 & landed 1621L.
"Fighter" (WTN10?) via ILS to 25 with limited checks for t&go 1627L to join visual circuit & landed 1629L.

OTT/Local
99-0004 "SAM324" passed OTT Woodvale area @ 1536L but above clag.
Ahead of this another C-32A, 98-0001"SAM898" @ FL280 also i/b to DUB. Passed OTT between Southport & Formby around 1520L but again too much clag to see as per usual.

Also pair Tucanos W>E off Lytham inbound Warton @ 1128L for a flythro' whilst RTB. ZF448 showing on mode-S as formation leader, now wearing special mks I believe, presume farewell markings?

"WTN69" up @ 1342L presume in dev jet. On his 3rd SRA/Talkdown to rwy25 (1440L). Previous SRAs with low approaches @ 1430/1438L.ATC continuation training going on? Seen briefly on c/out 1446L after a t/g. It looked like a twinseat ie BT017. "Tarnish 69" then went back out to east for an ILS & another t/g 25 @ 1455L, landing @1458L.
