Where’s NMA?

[Blackcat1]

I would have thought Pembrey & Sennybridge or at least 1 of them would have been on the route considering they’ve used them for so long

Where’s NMA?

I believe its the national memorial arboretum but could be wrong

Thank you

[Blackcat1]

Is there a route map yet? Or to early for the NOTAM Route?

Thanks

Not yet, this was posted in the wave group as a photo of a word doc

I just extracted the text from it.

Would think something official would come out from Brize soon.

Thanks! I’d like to see the route from Cosfird to Valley, I was hoping they would do Sennybridge as it’s the furthest place I can make that day

RAF Thorney Island (Baker Barracks now) was a significant C130 station, 242OCU 1967

Lossie to Leeming as the crow flies is almost right over Leuchars. I'll be praying to the spotting gods that they go that way.

I won't, I think a lot of us want to see them in the TTA's down in the weeds.

Apologies if missed elsewhere in the text but I assume timings are local and not Z? MTIA

Thanks for this, I'm looking forward to it! What altitude might they be flying at? I'm near Lyneham and until a few years ago we would get regular low passes by C-130s. Now the A400s rarely are as low and it just isn't the same! I've never known why the change happened though.

Thanks for that.

Will the route be NOTAMED & show their track?

A small detour over Leuchars & Edinburgh en-route or back from Lossie would be nice please.
