Hi does anyone know what date the F-16s are due in looks like normal flying will resume tomorrow morning with this ash cloud now clearing the airspace.

Was thinking of heading upto Pitlochry for some low-level but if the F-16s are not due in until after that I will just go to Glencoe.

Cheers Scott.

Was hoping to catch a F-16 through the valleys tomorrow that possibility now seems to be getting slimer by each passing hour.
