Joint Warrior

[nickowen]

We're heading for the Cape Wrath Ranges on Tuesday, but will probably call in at Kinloss en route.

[Jonay]

I'll be heading up to Kinloss tomorrow hopefully to take cadets gliding.. will anything be there just to take a quick snap of?

[np1991]

Il no doubt be dotting around both Lossie and Kinloss as usual
Jonay, there's a NP3C at Kinloss at present, it's been flying daily sorties, might be active tomorrow and there's a USN C130T in also, but I'd think it would depart at some point tomorrow

Also: There's at least 2 German Tonkas at Lossie, apparently arrived Friday morning and went into 12 Sqn.

Remember Black Citreon C1

Hi all, is there any word on Joint Warrior participants yet?? Thanks in advance, Iain.

1 FRADU Hawk flew up on Thursday (XX303), 3 more to follow tomorrow.
I believe they are leaving VLN early PM so should be up at Kinloss mid afternoon.
Possible cabs could be some FN100 jets, certainly they had been the most active last week...

[np1991]

Arriving this morning were:
USN P3C 163001
French Atlantiques 2 and 6

Also the USN C130T (164998) departed

[Macc]

Isn't FN6 special markings?

[np1991]

Nope, plain grey. 9 and 17 were the two specials

Niall are the german tonkas there as part of JW or something completely different

[np1991]

There's been plenty kit dropped off by Transels during last week, could be part of JW

[centaurus18]

3 x FN100 jets left VLN for Kinloss today in formation, first time since the SHARs I've seen a 3-ship 'residents' take-off!
Cannot confirm serials at this point, but I've got the feeling it was XX205, XX301 and XX337 - certainly at least two of those three (4th option is XX159).

Kind regards,
Mark

Hi all, what's up there now all told and is anything else due? cheers.

[np1991]

A word of warning, Lossie is VERY VERY quiet, only launched 3 jets today, there's only 14 Sqn flying, no sign of the Germans, although the crews were seen driving on the ringroad.

[onemac]

I'll be around tomorrow, in various locations, hoping to photograph something interesting (like an aircraft in the air for example).

I'm thinking my expectations are a bit on the high side though......
