Unsure of reg. the heat haze was a nightmare, but two are out up North West - they were working with the STRIX MC130 and should be for INV if info is correct

Strix has just passed over Inverness to the East heading South, trailing as it did. Currently at Inv waiting in hope.

Good luck Thunder , Pike 81/82 departed Leuchars this morning @ 10.52.

PS Knife 71 departed for a low level sortie up north @ 14.15.
A 3 hour sortie in total, back to RAF Mildenhall by around 17.15 local.

Knife71 07-0033 just passed low level at speed to the South of Inverness heading North West.

Had to leave the airport to pick up youngest from school, so if they’re going there, it will be now!!

Yes, they landed around 6 minutes apart:
Pike 81 ( 08 - 0047) @ 16.47
Pike 82 ( 11 - 0057) @ 16.53

Thanks to Gary (Mcmullg83) for the visual tie- ups!

Hi Mike, they were AAR with a MC-130J from Mildenhall in the Minches, saw a post on Facebook about it. Don't know if they landed anywhere else.
Cheers.
