Re: Is there any more deployments?
I highly doubt anymore deployments this year due to COVID as personnel would have to undergo a 2 week quarantine which the US would not waste 4 weeks doing.

Re: Is there any more deployments?
There is an ALTRV up for today for the correct height for bombers but no support has arrived at fairford so I doubt it but you never know.

'Optimism' is an admirable quality given the current worldwide situation. 'Dreaming' is plane (sic) crazy!!
Re: Is there any more deployments?
Still 6 months of the year to go, a lot can happen, but I would be very surprised if anything was to happen before August. July would’ve been reserved for RIAT so no deployments would’ve been planned for then anyway. That’s not say that aircraft could drop in for gas n goes.

Deployments have been cancelled until at least September
Re: Is there any more deployments?
Nothing until at least September which I've seen/heard of something in September being deployed but nothing concrete

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
Re: Is there any more deployments?
NOTAMs have a "life" [sort of temporary]. If the relevant feature or defect has not been fixed by the end date, another NOTAM can be generated. In addition a NOTAM can advise of a change to something that might become permanent, and in due course the NOTAM would expire when the relevant data is published permanently in the appropriate document. ........I think!
The transient arrivals NOTAM is around 3 months validity, and the Men and Equipment NOTAM is roughly 3 months.
But I'm with you on the "fingers crossed".

Re: Is there any more deployments?
The annual Exercise Ample Strike is going ahead as normal in CZ during the period 31/08/20 to 19/09/20.
B-52 are normally tasked.

Re: Is there any more deployments?
Indeed locals have been told B52's are due and I have noticed as of yesterday a small amount of support vehicle arriving to the right of the B-2 hangar. Last years Ample Strike involved just a single B52 which went tech for the whole deployment so let's hope this year fairs better.

Re: Is there any more deployments?
Not that I'm aware of Starbuck although the airframe that was stranded at mildenhall flew to fairford to join another aircraft already there for Ample Strike and departed the next day back home to Barksdale.

Re: Is there any more deployments?
The US military issue "promises"?
Re: Is there any more deployments?
so should not be long to we see the support arrive
Re: Is there any more deployments?
Even if it turns out that the B-52 is going to be involved, who's to say that any aircraft will deploy at all? They could just as easily do the mission with AAR from and to the States without setting down anywhere. In these Covid struck times, am I the only one that thinks that is the most likely scenario?
