Leuchars QRA ( Question )

Post by Flyingmonster » Mon Jun 06, 2011 8:22 pm

Evening all! :thumb:

I was wondering if anyone knew why 6 Squadron were using other Squadron jets?

Also are 6 Squadron Jets equiped with PIRARTE sensors?

Any info appreciated :)
Cheers

Not sure i know the answer to the first bit but last time i looked along the line it was a mix of yes and no for Pirate.

This is just like what happened with the RAF Tornado F.3/ GR.1/4s.

Hi all,
Looks like 6 squadron are all go with their own Typhoons as 2 departed early this morning on a QRA mission. And seen as one of the 6 sqn marked machines with 17sqn has been photographed wearing bombs, looks like that will be the next tick to be put in the box!
Arabest,
Geoff.
