It's a real conundrum with so many runners

Will he :-

a) Spend the night at Mildenhall
b) Go to Stansted
c) Go to Heathrow
d) Go to Newquay

Think I fancy option (a) as a good each way!

Just read above post about purple airspace in Cornwall so (d) is fancied

If Biden is not arriving until late evening, your conundrum should be solved by going c), b) then a)

Mind you,when was the last offial visit to Mildenhall/LN by a US President,and not one of those sneaky late night gas and goes ?? They may want to put on a show for him and show him why it was a great call in not closeing the base ??

You can almost see the news headlines, AF1 flight plan not filed. Result the base closed down forever and the base commander put in the glasshouse.

It was pointed out to me that 91-0303 F-15E is still in Mildenhall so could be part of the ceremony. You would have thought 84-0010 the king would be nailed on to visit?

It's the choppers I am interested in so it looks like the Windsor section will more interesting for those of us east of Devon

VC-25 Superb looking plane and awesome to see but the rarity for me is the support circus

Should be fine so long as he puts a London ATC point in.... even if he doesn't want to go there. otherwise, it's a combination of "the computer says no" and "if your names not on the door, you can't come in" :P :roll: On a positive note if that does happen, I am sure it will be the last time there are issues with flight plans at Mildenhall.

Sorry I meant will Biden do one of a,b,c,d

I am slightly tempted to go to Culdrose via Northolt and Exeter but what day? Saturday and come back Sunday? Long way for two

AF1 holding short of 28 : Sorry Airforce 1 can you refile your flight plan or fax a copy of your 1801 to 0775***""""

Don't say that! Arrival shots would need to be northside anyway at that time of day, so nearer the roundabout?
