Baltic Air Policing Aircraft

Post by cfett75 » Tue May 05, 2015 5:21 pm

Was just wondering if anyone knew which four air frames were deployed to Estonia on Baltic Air Policing on Monday. I have ZK345/EP which was photographed at the handover ceremony. Any help would be great.

Thanks

That info is normally kept in house.

It was more an enquiry as to whether or not anyone has physically seen which jets departed.

ZK345 EP and ZK314 EO are the only two I can find at the minute.

Failed again. Left engine nozzle not working. Possibly a crew out if the lineys can't fix!

Sorry for the thread hijack but Mentor 4 is positioning on 28 threshold to 'roll forward' to the cross and backtracking. Instructions from Ops are a 5-minute wait at any point (if the problem fixes itself) and he's good to go.

Cleared for take off but he's struggling. Keep hearing him trying to light the left burner. Its been over 3 minutes now and he's still trying to diagnose the fault. Requested another 1 1/2 minutes.

Just declared u/s and heading back to the line :unsure:

It looks like ZK305 is out there too which was DE and in XI squadron marks a few weeks back, now in 6 squadron marks and coded EE?

Recent pics posted by the RAF would suggest that maybe EG is on thrle BAP trip as well...

I thought only four aircraft were involved in the
deployment

I have ZJ937 / EG as going to Coningsby on 11/03/2015
serving with 11 Squadron.

RFR7042 arrived Lossie this morning (24/8/15) at 1153L from Amari. Possible frame swap? Anyone catch which one it was?
