Old Tie ups
Good evening all
I know this is probably a very long shot, but could anyone place some dates on the following seen in the UK in the late 80's
E-181 f-16 RDAF
79-0010/BT F-15D USAF
and one which I defiately saw Gatwick in either 76 or 77
130329 CC-130 RCAF
Many thanks
Regards
Roberto

Re: Old Tie ups
CAF Herc and Cosmopolitans were regular visitors to Gatwick at that time so I'd imagine 130329 would have visited several times.
I logged it myself at Gatwick a little later on 7.4.80 - it was w/o in 1982
The BT Eagle displayed at Middle Wallop on 24.7.82, yellow tip
The Danish F-16 was at Brawdy 24.7.91

I logged 130329 at Gatwick on 29 October 1976. As I was working there at the time, I suspect this was first visit.

Re: Old Tie ups
Thanks for the BT eagle I was a Wallop on that date, so that makes sense, didn't go to Brawdy tho, and I now think I have the Canadian Herc tied up as long as it night stopped on the 29th Oct 76Yammer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2024 12:13 pmCAF Herc and Cosmopolitans were regular visitors to Gatwick at that time so I'd imagine 130329 would have visited several times.

Very unlikely they were nearly always on a QT, Generally in and out to Lahr.RobertoCFC05 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2024 9:05 pmThanks, so I assume it was still there the next day being a Saturday?

Re: Old Tie ups
Roberto, regarding the Danish F-16 E-181. Could your sighting have been in the early 1990s? It was in the static at Brize Norton open day 11/07/1992.
