' initiate overrun procedures '

Not sure what that means , however tracking suggests the B1[s] went beyond the hook up point and seem to be repositioning as LAGR heads east within the AARA

[zero_gravity]

LAGR91 moving up the east coast , not sure if connected with Howler sortie

[slogen51]

I don't know what it means either, probably what it says

They mentioned a 'coordinated drag' to ARA5

It must be quite scary being so close to a large jet - hats off to them all

[slogen51]

Howler read tails as 86-0124 and 86-0103 respectively

That could be linked to LAGR91 , maybe heading north to meet the second tanker , if so expect them to switch to sqwk 3321

[zero_gravity]

Tankers breaking away on 6061

[slogen51]

Howler 1 received 20000 pounds of fuel which isn't that much for a bib as I heard Wolf 12 a typhoon pick up 9000 pounds the other day

Howler #1 requested the tail of Lager 55 : '60-0335'

I think the full callsigns are Howler 41/42

[Sentinal]

HOBO 26/27.
Filed Mildenhall /Mildenhall on a 007 m/c.
59-1475

07:45 Howler 41 switching to 278.55 while Howler 42 is still with Swanwick on 133.325 bandboxed controller only

Sqk 6113 or 6112

07:48 Howler 42 also pushed on to 278.55

Rwy surface Notam RWY 27/09 SURFACE CONDITION IS CONCRETE WET ASPHALT WET WITH
NO STANDING WATER. 02 NOV 07:00 2023 UNTIL 02 NOV 18:00 2023.

[Blackcat1]

To Scandinavia?

Rwy surface Notam RWY 27/09 SURFACE CONDITION IS CONCRETE WET ASPHALT WET WITH
NO STANDING WATER. 02 NOV 07:00 2023 UNTIL 02 NOV 18:00 2023.
Suggests they be back before 7pm based on the Notam times

More likely before 1800L as we are now on GMT/ZULU
I suspect we might see a repeat of the situation last week , with Black01 returning around the same time as the B1s as they track back via the Baltic.
