22hr+ missions are routine training but I’d be surprised if all 3 a/c are involved, unless they’re doing their own thing once airborne.

Any chance the "QUIDS" or at least some of them could be for B-52/s heading East?

RCH021 / 22 positioned to Mildenhall early hours this a.m, would tie in with x2 B-52's crossing the pond...

B-2's or the KC135's have just gone over the top of Inverness heading North, a pair of QUIDS are shown over Fife at the moment so I'm assuming it's the B-2's I've just heard.


Edit: All "QUIDS" are together, so it must've been the B-2's I heard.
