Thanks for the update mate :thumb:

Think it is much better to have a new, clean thread for this, it is a lot easier to read. Thank you.

There isn't any of the usual AR tracks active over the US/ Canada , which you'd expect EL / MT jets to use. Could mean they are flying direct without taking the opportunity to AR. Would be usual for the bombers not to be in early

There is now, both quite late though...
AR20(NE) 07/10/2018 13:00 07/13/2018 16:00 ZBW 210 240 MTR / AR
AR20(NE) 07/10/2018 18:30 07/10/2018 20:30 ZBW 230 250 MTR / AR
No Shanwick ALTRV's, so neither look likely to be the F-35's. Strange for them to arrive this late if they're in the flying display on Friday.

That would be a strange route unless they are doing training. Ellsworth and Minot usually go via AR62 so cant be bombers

Not Likely RIAT traffic but Spur 72 prepositioned last night to Bangor or McGuire last night. Ian saying it's for Mytee 52. I would hazard a guess the second AR20 booking would be for that

C-17 is already here, believe it'll be same airframe that was at Yeovilton.
