Welcome to FC. Assuming your able to drive (age 28) you need to know the UK is blessed with good weather & extra jets at Fairford & Lakenheath this week.
Exercise Ramstein Flag should see more unusual visitors flying from these locations.
Plus Tac Blaze running through to 22nd April.

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Evening
Long time lurker. Tried to register yonks ago but something went wrong, Finally got round to doing it again
Worked at Manchester Airport for decades where mil aircraft were few and far between but there were some - regular Saudi C-130 for years and Iranian B707 for a while in the 70s. Used to visit East Anglian airfields every few weeks,(C-124 at the Hall...) usually at weekends ,when there were often visiting fast jets at the USAF bases, and go out regularly on exercises like Elder Forest. In those days gen was all by word of mouth and often incorrect and you spent hours driving from base to base to find the lunch stoppers or watch attacks, sometimes to find you should have been there 10 minutes earlier!
Don't get out much nowadays but do watch airways in the Manchester area and there are a decent number of mil OTT. Hope to do my bit with OTT traffic when I can.
Cheers!
