There is currently a Galaxy at fairford RCH280 which arrived from the states yesterday empty. Could be a candidate for picking the choppers back up.

Re: Trump visit
I think it was the one that night stopped at Stansted which from memory was 13-08137. But it was one of two using the same hexcode AE599F.

Re: Trump visit
The C-17 just into Northolt originated at Mildenhall. Just to clarify, neither MLD nor MDH are correct codes for that airfield, being Malad and Southern Illinois Airport respectively.

Re: Trump visit
Only civil spotters use baggage codes
four letter ICAO codes only for military airfields plus the name.

Re: Trump visit
Looking at Adsb,only 3x Grits showing returning home....any indication that the 4th has gone as well?
Re: Trump visit
Just read the forum rules twice and unless I am missing it cannot see anywhere that airfield codes are not to be used.
Re: Trump visit
It's not actually within the rules (but should be), the thread is here :- viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10728
