Hearing that there is a UAF C17 due in from the States tomorrow morning just after 7am.

Just been on the news that the King and Queen are to visit Canada at the end of the month, in the past the RCAF have sent a VIP jet to pick them up

SPAR10 05-0730 C40 ETA 06:59L from Andrews.

I believe that the German A321 leaves again tomorrow after lunch.

Its the UK-EU defence pact summit in London on Monday, so we may see some military visitors in the next couple of days.

Apparently USAF C40 Boxer 47 came in today at lunchtime. It may have had a technical problem.

There should be a Cyprus Airforce Embraer tomorrow (Tues) evening, sorry I don't have a time.

Also expecting a Qatar C17 3:45pm Tues. Possibly A7-MAA

Edit:

Adding yet another for Tuesday.

USAF C-40a 19:15 (local) should be reg 20202

02-0202 (nice number) showing as Boxer 40.

Any news on the King's departure? Canadian timings suggest he can leave it till Monday morning.

A Canadian A330 arrived at Brize this morning.

Hearing a Qatar C-17 is due tomorrow morning 10:15 ish

There should be a UAE C-17 in tomorrow 15:45 possibly reg 1223.

There is also a rumour that the Maximux AN-124 might visit lunchtime tomorrow from the UAE as well. Sometimes they are classified as military. But, what's the betting it turns into another UAE C17?

Could this be helicopter arrival day for the annual UAE Royal families / Dubai air wing summer holiday in the UK ?

the AN124 is delayed or cancelled. If anyone saw what came off the UAE AF C17 (1223) a heads up would be most welcome.
