Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
RUMMY71 86-0029 KC10 and FIST71 85-0029 KC10 have landed at BANGOR. Is this a positioning flt for the big girls? Plus new AR alert warning for AR20 01.30z for Tuesday been set. So expect something coming over early tomorrow.

President Obama is due to visit both Poland and Belgium prior to the 6th June commemorations in France. So possibly its E-4 AAR tonight.Scouseian wrote:RUMMY71 86-0029 KC10 and FIST71 85-0029 KC10 have landed at BANGOR. Is this a positioning flt for the big girls?

An E-4 went into Brussels last night and will probably re-position for the POTUS visit - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98451Malcolm wrote:President Obama is due to visit both Poland and Belgium prior to the 6th June commemorations in France.

E-4's on POTUS missions stay within VHF range of Airforce 1 whilst POTUS is onboard. They also rarely land in the same country as POTUS. I doubt the one in Brussels has much to do with the upcoming visit.Knife 04 wrote:An E-4 went into Brussels last night and will probably re-position for the POTUS visit - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98451Malcolm wrote:President Obama is due to visit both Poland and Belgium prior to the 6th June commemorations in France.

Re: Reach 403 Inbound.
Unlikely to be from Barksdale.
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Hi Ian, any idea of the actual call signs used on these two ? Looks like the last flight is showing on the box, as I caught Fist 71 working Tokyo on HF last week.Scouseian wrote:RUMMY71 86-0029 KC10 and FIST71 85-0029 KC10 have landed at BANGOR.

Also, remember the Minot buffs are at Ellsworth until October, so they might use AR62.
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Does anyone know what frequency the B52s will be using
