Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
A B2 and B52 flypast over the Normandy beaches would be an entirely apt tribute for the 70th D-Day anniversary.

Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Guys, opsjockey has provided more accurate information on this exercise and indeed movements generally than most people, so take him at his word, if he says it hasn't flown from Whiteman AFB, it probably hasn't!
And physics will tell you, a 757 can't make it that far in one hop!

What B-2?! A B-52 is taking part in the event, as detailed in the USAF press release.09andrew wrote:President Putin will be in France for the flypast tommorrow, my money is on a B2 arriving tonight.
And of course, OpSec applies in this instance, doesn't it..?effects wrote:Maybe he should not be posting anything, ever heard of Opsec?

Everybody needs to calm down a touch.
We'll know when anything interesting is on it's way

Flying prevails whenever a man and his airplane are put to a test of maximum performance.
Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
I went past on the way home from work last night, they are parked up in the southwest loop..... And there are some trees thrown in for good measure !stealth1234 wrote:Went to Fairford today hoping to see a B-52. Sadly there well bl**dy hidden

Well I photographed all three along with the many others who made the long walk.

Re: Exercise Sabre Strike - Advanced Info/Discussion
Aaron, i drove down the lane towards Marston Meysey - the first turning for it on the way out of Fairford past the new housing development heading towards Ampney Crucis. On the map it is the Photo Point that is on the north side of the runway, opposite the southwest loop http://www.pb-photos.com/Images/Aviatio ... irford.pdf if you walk it, you will probably get better views through the hedges to be honest...... If you drive it....... Go slowly as the lanes are narrow and you basically cut through some farmyards, and they have dogs loose .... It is a road though. I went expecting to see them parked outside the B2 hangars ...aaronjw wrote:Where did you view them?Fighterfoto wrote:Well I photographed all three along with the many others who made the long walk.
