RAF P8’s also expected at Kinloss to begin with whilst the work to accommodate them at Lossiemouth is finished.

The flying display will be in the time frame of 1300-1500 Local. RAF Falcons parachute display team, followed by solo Typhoon display, and then the Red Arrows. The roads around the Southern and Western perimeters will be closed, as will the tracks around the RWY23 threshold. The road from Lossiemout...

Lossie will get occasional visits from USN MH60s during the exercise but no visiting fast jets are taking part and MPAs, as mentioned, heading to Prestwick for this exercise.

No foreign fast jets taking part

10 Alpha Jets of the PdF along with a FAF A400M and FAF TBM930 in support should make a short stop to refuel at Lossie today.

They are planned to arrive from Orleans and depart to Keflavik, en route to a North American tour.

Don't have an exact ETA but early afternoon was mentioned.

Quiet for Lossie but there is a different emphasis this time around. More sea and land scenarios this time than aerial ones.

Usual contingent of 5 RN Hawks and around 6 Cobham DA20 Falcons will be at Prestwick for the exercise.

Expected Lossie visitors are:

2x USN P8
1 German P3
1 French Atlantique
2x USN MH60S

4 F16s have a morning JW mission planned on 20th.

Sweden is a NATO Partner. The Gripens are playing in Joint Warrior as part of the exercise scenario, but are also enablers for Noble Arrow which is running as a subset. The latter exercise is to provide the UK Joint Force Air Component with certification signing them off as the air component for the...

Might be best splitting Black Hawk posts in to their own thread ? They're not Joint Warrior related and people looking for Black Hawk info may not look in here.

Think the Gripens due in on the afternoon of Friday 7th.

5 Portuguese F16s

2 USN P8

2 RCAF CP140

1 Aeronavale Atlantique

2 RN Sea King ASaCS

May be occasional visiting helicopters from ships.

13 Swedish Gripens coming for Joint Warrior and to assist in Exercise Noble Arrow which runs at the same time.

The Israelis are not in Jaded Thunder.

Long NOTAM is for the base set up, flying, and redeployment back home. As there will be a lot going on logistically, they don't want anything coming in which is not associated with the exercise and getting in the way. Seems fair enough to me. They could fly on other days for famil, but are probably ...

Main details are in the original post. A little bit more from the ACN. Participants are home based UK Hawk, Tornado, Typhoon, Shadow, Airseeker, and E3D. Operating out in the field or staging through Leeming are UK Chinook, Apache, Gazelle, and Puma. US participation includes the A10s and AH6 Little...

Mission cancelled unfortunately

MH60S training at Kinloss now cancelled.

Posted in Kinloss section also but might be worth a short trip for anyone at Lossie.

A couple of USN MH60S helicopters may drop in to Kinloss this morning (11th) for a couple of hours training.
