The chances of anything flying on Thursday are near zero given the wind, although the B-1s are so knackered it'll be a while before they have anything working enough to fly.

Really? is it too windy for Bones to take off? the hangar Queens being knackered wouldn’t surprise me though!

Interesting. Is that an assumption given their general record or have you heard direct relevant info for right now? Thanks.

This wind speed ain't a problem.

It was pretty gusty both yesterday and on Saturday and they flew then.

Also, the airframes are 30+ years old so its not surprising they have a few aches and creaks. Enjoy 'em while they're still in service!

Genuinely intrigued as to how the cotswold gliding club have aircraft up but the B1s are "close to zero"...

Flying on 8 out of 20 days so far. Worth it?
