SCALP99 away at 09:42 heading for the Daventry Corridor. He stated on start destination is LKMT (Ostrava) so wouldn’t expect him back till next week now.

From today's Reach flight thread:

RCH302 C17 99-0169 [AE080F] Charleston for Fairford ETD 0150Z
Same C17 as at RIAT this year I believe

Once it has shut down can anyone verify whether equipment is being loaded or unloaded.

It's from Charleston, not one of the bomber bases, so may not be directly connected with B-2 or B-52 ops.

What if it does neither? What do we do then?! The world is basically over if it doesn't do anything.
