Re: Departure day
You mean Spitfire XVI?
CV-22 departed early afternoon, Spanish EF-18 is on taxi now, as is/was the Atlas.
Something amiss with the Gripen, as all the drop tanks have beeb removed.

Re: Departure day
Thanks for the info, I am watching the planes tv stream and they had a power loss so I missed a few departures. Jordanian C130 looks like it won't be departing today. With Brize closing due to the heat I wonder if the RAF Atlas will stay too.
Re: Departure day
Is that what that smoke was we can see in the distance
Gripen isn't moving anytime soon either.

Re: Departure day
Correct - C-390 aborted due to technical problems, one of the Austers took to the air briefly and then landed again due to the heat.Bobby 1211 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 10:24 amBrazilian C-390 and one of the light planes seemed to abort take off?
I got a video of the aborted Brazilian C-390 take off, will post it later
No, they were held on the runway and then taxi'd back to parking due to French ATC issues they said on the scanner.

Re: Departure day
Anything else left at Fairford except the Spanish Hornet, Swedish Gripen, RAF A400 and Jordanian C-130?

That's what I have as the stragglers so concur

Re: Departure day

Re: Departure day
Regarding the Austrians that is correct but did one of them still not have a problem after yesterday's display was cut short?nitro999 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 3:30 pmCorrect - C-390 aborted due to technical problems, one of the Austers took to the air briefly and then landed again due to the heat.Bobby 1211 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 10:24 amBrazilian C-390 and one of the light planes seemed to abort take off?

Re: Departure day
The Spanish Hornet is still there, right? I wonder if it will best the German Tornado which was at Fairford for a whole month after RIAT because if went TEC
Re: Departure day
Spanish is indeed still there and a RAF A400M I think
