Looks like Scotland, North of the Firth of Forth is a no fly zone tomorrow

Hi does anyone know what date the F-16s are due in looks like normal flying will resume tomorrow morning with this ash cloud now clearing the airspace.

Was thinking of heading upto Pitlochry for some low-level but if the F-16s are not due in until after that I will just go to Glencoe.

Cheers Scott.

Cheers Fmansam Pitlochry it is then on Wednesday.

fmansam what did the ground crew arrive in today
all the best dougie

they arrived Sunday, as I passed them at the Guardroom around half past one

Any NEW info? Hopefully heading down tomorrow. Would like to know if they actually turned up today?

Cheers.

Are they going to do the same as last year?? When they arrived at spade from Belgium...into Leuchars for fuel...back to spade and then back to Belgium?? They brought ground crew for that aswell

Was hoping to catch a F-16 through the valleys tomorrow that possibility now seems to be getting slimer by each passing hour.

first wave due to sortie at spade at 1000 tomorrow morning then off to leuchars. second wave shortly after

Just as I though....the Belgians are flying into spadeadam from florennes-into leuchars-spadeadam then back to home plate at florennes. They are not based at leuchars for this week
