Aircraft Update! USAF KC-135R will be flying on Sunday only from OP Atlantic Resolve deployment at Geilenkirchen Air Base

[LecLightning56]

Going on Saturday but cannot get miffed about this since the 135 is seen regularly over my area from Europe and Mildenhall. Could get miffed if the USAF displays a bomber on the Sunday though!

[martmpf]

They have only flown on Ample Strike missions so far. No activity on exercise last weekend. If same, not flying.

i wonder why Northrop Grumman is on the programme ???

[martmpf]

Where?

I think he means on the printed programme as a sponsor, just as RIAT do.

Come to think of it, I think the WAVE still has a board up saying sponsored/with thanks to Northrop Grumman?

MIke

They are a sponsor so i wouldnt get to excited about any aircraft from them.

[baz1]

was just a thought as someone else made mention of it on here.

I notice we are one A400 down according to the Scampton list - perhaps it has had to be diverted for hurricane relief.

Latest weather forecast suggests that Sunday is the driest with showers on Saturday.

Yes. An understandable retasking

Tomorrow afternoon, and a flypast only. Two if your lucky. Three and you should have done your lottery.

I only said it was heading towards Scampton , it would have been a bit early for a display , just thought I'd post it on this thread instead of heads up ;-)
