If I remember rightly the last time one landed a the IAT, the first contact I had with it was when he called the tower 20 miles south of the field. That was with 4 boxes scanning all known mil frequencies. :ninja:

My money is on and 09 arrival and straight into the hangar. Hopefully not though as I am at the 27 end and would like at least one shot of it with air under its wing.

Yea, I got a "very naughty boy" telling off on this forum for daring to "ask" what the ETA of the B2 was, & could jepordise the whole event accordingly,
but it's just fine to publish frequencies, headings, tracking info, sightings etc, as far away as off the coast of IRELAND yesterday............hilarious.
