Hearing that there is Qatar C-17 due in Thursday just after lunch. Probably only staying a couple of hours

MAO landed 13:53 yesterday(Wednesday 6/11) from Al Udeid. No further movement on Adsb.

[Pesmog]

Yep, my source got its arrival day muddled. I believe the C-17 is still leaving today though.

[STN RAMP RAT]

can anyone confirm if both Dubai AW AW139's departed from Stansted on the C17 this week. DU-142 has flown in Dubai so that one has certainly left but DU-141 has not so may be still at Stansted.

EDIT: DU-141 was showing on ADSB in Dubai on the 8th November so has left Stansted.

There are currently two Turkmenistan Government S-92As at Stansted undergoing Maintenance in the old Harrods Aviation hangar attached to the terminal building that may be worth keeping track of in this thread:

EZ-S721 arrived on the 2nd October
EZ-S720 arrived on the 2nd November

Sam, thanks for the heads up, whilst accepting they are quite rare beasts I took the decision to only put aircraft with military registrations into this section. When I started a few years back it was clear that I would be overwhelmed by tracking civilian registered governmental aircraft, specifically the Middle Eastern royal flights, feel free to report them in the thread though.

[Andy Marden]

I understand this can be emotive subject, but as the vast majority of military spotters collect government aircraft....

[SamP]

I can see Ramp Rats point, there is a common pool of Government aircraft that are frequently in and out of Stansted that can be hard to keep daily track of for little point when most people will have already seen them.

Perhaps we could make it ‘uncommon government and military’ but it’s splitting hairs a bit. The Turkmenistan S-92s whilst uncommon are very hard to see as they spend almost all their time at Stansted buried in a hangar you can’t see into. I still need both of them and can’t see myself catching them! I thought they were worth mentioning as I can’t remember the last time two were in together.

[Andy Marden]

I understand that too, but there are a vast pool of military aircraft that go in and out of Mildenhall that are recorded, for which as you say "for little point when most people will have already seen them".

[STN RAMP RAT]

To be clear, I have no issue with them being reported in the thread, its clearly within the rules. my reply was about my own personal capacity to add them to the thread. I am not always aware that they are in as I dont have access to any inside sources either.

[Pesmog]

UAE C-17 is due in today midday

and a rarer visitor

Czech Airforce C295 should arrive mid-morning today.

(Update) its running a bit late, now over the low countries CEF6110

[conyoy]

noted landing after each other around lunchtime today were
0481 CASA235W Czech A/F
1225 C17 UAEAF

[Pesmog]

I believe that the UAE C-17 that arrived today will be leaving at 9am Sunday.

Update: I am not sure how accurate this is, but there should be two Qatar C-17's arriving from JFK after 7am Sunday as well. They are apparently on a quick turn around so won't be around long. So potentially plenty of C-17 action tomorrow morning.

Not heard anything about the C-295 departure.

[brumbee]

FR24 has LHOB244 C17. Arriving from JFK @ 07.43 Sunday morning
No reg showing

[Herky99]

MAP went out there

[Pesmog]

Both landed. MAP departed later, but I understand that MAE cancelled its departure.

No news on C-295

[Pesmog]

The C-295 is apparently listed for departure tomorrow 17:00. It will be pretty dark then

[reach2911]

Czech AF 6110 C-295W 0481 departed at 15.47.

[Typeflyer]

I thought the Indonesian was A-7309?
