Re: Summer Deployments
EX AMPLE STRIKE begins 3Oth of August I believe so probably safe to say anything up to a week prior for arrivals. Seven is correct though; not a rumour.
Re: Summer Deployments

It's not supposed to, it's an article about the exercise.andrew b wrote:it doesnt say anything about fairford in that link .
Re: Summer Deployments
I note the above press article reports:
"The U.S. B-1 and B-52 bombers, AH-64 Apache helicopters and two KC-135R mid-air refueling aircraft will also participate in the exercise".
An official statement actually says "The United States Air Force is presently considering participating with AH-64 attack helicopters, strategic B-1 and B-52 bombers as well as KC-135R tanker aircraft".
Hopefully the outcome will be the same.

Re: Summer Deployments
It does seem to have gone quiet at Fairford in the last few months after a few months of intense rumours...... No public decision about the future RC-135 TDY base, no mention of it becoming a possible KC-135 TDY base, no B-2s that a few people were certain were coming at 2am, no B-1s (yet), no more monthly C-17 visits.
I read something in the news recently that me think Fairford might have quite a "special" role in the future, but I was probably reading between the lines.

Re: Summer Deployments
Thought Spec Ops were off to Ramstein?
Re: Summer Deployments
56th RQS are due to go to Aviano, according to the official announcement.

Re: Summer Deployments
Are the PJs that the 56th have AFSOC or USAFE? That might have some influence on it, or there again it might not.
