Yes both CAM Hawks are going as well. From what I have read
Thanks for that info, Much appreciated. I only asked as noticed that XX327, BDN02 is up from Boscombe Down this morning and it got me thinking as to whether they're going as well.

Re: Navy Hawks final fly past

I've not been able to find any information about whether the Qinetiq Hawk T1's will also be going the same way as the RN and RAF Hawks. Or whether they'll still operate out of Boscombe Down for the time being. Does anyone know if they're also planned for the chop?

Re: Daily movements 11/10/21

Are any of the other two likely to go up today? 0952L. I'm stood at the Marston Meysey end. One of the B-1's has its engines running. However, it looks as though it's purely maintenance, as they keep throttling up the two port side engines, like they did earlier on this morning before Stork flight ...

AR20 open from 16.00z, for the B52?
Forgive my ignorance, but what is AR20 and where is it?

AR20 is an air to air refuelling track over Nova Scotia.

Re: Tuesday 10/9

Not forgetting the flypast for Jersey Airshow on the 11th September. So the B-52 should be up on Wednesday, providing it's serviceable of course.

QID13 is indeed refuelling F-15's in ARA10W and unrelated to MYTEE 21/22.

Re: NOTAM 28/08/2019 - B-2s MYTEE 11/12/13 Depart

"MYTEE" is a callsign used on all U.S.A.F. SAC bomber types and not just allocated to B-52's. B-1's and B-2's use "MYTEE" as well. So please don't assume all "MYTEE" callsign aircraft are B-52's.

Re: Ample Strike Sorties - Czech Army website

Having looked on the website, I noticed that the 6th September is the media day in the Czech Republic for Ample Strike. Not sure about last years exercise, but I'm wondering if anyone remembers if there were any movements from Fairford on the media day last year.

Re: EX ARCTIC CHALLENGE/BALTOPS/SABRE STRIKE/AMPLE STRIKE 17

I was wondering what the Reach flights could be bringing to each EX, as surely equipment needed could be kept at Fairford - Spares, GPU etc, when I was there in June I saw the normal UK vans but with US GPU units. Just interested as to why they could not keep any equipment or spares at FFD as these...
