Re: AF1 and gas n go

The best part about that decision is the 747-8 is even more restricted on where it can operate into and out of, so options on where it can land to refuel are much more limited.

No, they turn them on and off fairly randomly - sometimes you'll see a lot, other times none of them have Mode-S OUT on.

Are any even painted in RN colours?

Re: VE Day 80th

The fact there is no "real" commitment to this by the Government is pitiful. This is merely lip service. Out of casual interest, what would you like to see by way of "real" commitment? I wouldn’t worry too much. Looking back at their posts it’s clear they’ve spent a little bit too long reading the ...

Except for the concept that once one NATO member country is attacked the others are to render assistance. The USAF is only in the UK in support of NATO.
