Friday 13th 2019 NOTAM

[TAFFEVANS]

Seems a strange sortie - launch and stooge about offering yourself up as a target. Do they need the hours?

Soaking up all those EM emissions from the other participants maybe?

[DavieB]

I imagine its all a bit more pre-planned than that!

Oh, you'd be surprised!!

[red leader]

Thanks for that Rory76. That makes logical sense. Why didn't I think about wind direction!

She doing a mission for around 7 hours, then a flypast at KB before returning to Fairford.

[DavieB]

They'll need to tweak that NOTAM then.

Confirmed Fairford as the final destination after a couple of hours flying around the UK before heading to Belgium.

Volunteering to fly over Wales or Scotland to get out of the way of airways

[SamP]

Looking to do a tour of the UK before heading to Belgium and then RTB Fairford

Talking about going to over to Wales or Scotland to either fly a route or hold.

13.32L SCALP99 routing to BABAX?

[DavieB]

As I said - flying for hours; make it up as you go along. More common than you might imagine.
