Heard them and the C-130 from work, but not in a position to run to the window!
Perhaps tomorrow ...

Got both of the Black Hawks at 07.40 though.

Hi

thanks

Blackhawk, told 161235/10, put back in HAS early pm we left at 15.00 2nd hadn't returned by then.

[danksy]

does anybody know if the Gripens will be able to be seen outside over the weekend, thanks peter

[Razor01]

I'd imagine so - but I'll confirm at end of play today

[Ferrari]

Called in Friday at 4.50 pm
11 Gripens out
292, 289, 247, 212, 286, 285, 283, 276, 274, 257 and one twin-seater, 829.
No sign of the caravan which might suggest they had packed up and the Gripens will be out over the weekend.

No sign of the H-60s.

Regards,
Ferrari

[morleyca]

Anyone know if there will be any flying over the Weekend

[Razor01]

Gripens should be visible over the weekend as parked outside

May fly Sunday as JW starts then but your guess is as good as mine !

[morleyca]

Cheers Razor....thinking of driving up from Lakenheath on the Sunday....

[Thunder]

Aren't the Gripens part of Noble Arrow?

[Graham]

Unlikely to fly this weekend from experience of previous JWC's,Sunday usually a briefing day,but sometimes fast jet assets fly Saturday middle weekend of the JWC, time will tell!

[arch]

There are only 11 out at 10.50 saturday

[adderman]

Hi Folks

There are only 11 out at 10.50 saturday

264 & 269 are the missing pair.

Reading from left to right.
292 289 829 two spaces then 247 212 286 285 283 276 274 257.

No sign of Blackhawks.

Questions.
Is this the largest single type deployment into Leeming since the French Jaguar's in 1991?
Somewhat embarrassed to need all 11 vis, have any of these visited the UK before?
Met a guy up today, said he'd been to Sweden several times yet still needed 8 of them.
