They are here to support cobra warrior, ample strike and nato days

[tj1978]

Not forgetting the flypast for Jersey Airshow on the 11th September. So the B-52 should be up on Wednesday, providing it's serviceable of course.

[James Cutting]

As well as this Friday for the evening flypast at Sanicole show.

[steve rogers]

All 3 B2s still outside...no activity around them

Cobra Warrior? Don't think so, although happy to be corrected.

Says so in a USAFE/AFRICA press release.

I'm confused! Jersey IAD is a one-day show on Thurs 12th Sept & 'a' B-52 flypast isn't showing on the Display Schedule "v1-19". Why go there on the 11th? Anybody know more?
As noted above, the Sanicole Evening Airshow on Friday 13th is also scheduled to have 'a' B-52 flypast/s
'A' 307th BW. B-52 is scheduled for the static at NATO Air Days Ostrava held on 21st/22nd Sept 2019.
Exercise 'Ample Strike' runs from Weds 28th Aug through Tues 17th Sept, so previously we have seen a B-52 depart Fairford for the Ostrava weekend & return to CONUS via Fairford after the Ostrava event. Any factual info' welcome.
Exercise 'Cobra Warrior' participation by a B-52 (as noted in the Press Release) has to be a little joke by sub-contracted DBH Marketing personnel?
I'll have 'first guess'. B-52 flies Thurs 12th/ Friday 13th/ Monday 16th/ Dep' to Ostrava Thurs 19th/ Returns EGVA Tues 24th/ Dep' for US. after extensive rebuild? All subject to being Wrong!

Hi Supra,

I've just seen this quote off a website:

A USAF B-52 will perform a flypast over the static park on Wednesday 11th September 2019 at 2pm.

Hope this helps

[BOLLO]

I'll let ya know tomorrow if he departs.

[James Cutting]

Good luck if you're down there Bollo, hope you get some good movements

[BOLLO]

Hope so chap,long drive through the night from the Hall would be a waste of time and fuel for nothing.

[slogen51]

Can't do worse than I did - round trip of nearly 300 miles for the one B-2 that I required saw it but it didn't move!

Made a few frames in Kemble ( including 4 Turkmen B717 ) but they were civil and of course there is a Gnat and a Hunter in the AV8 carpark and elsewhere on Kemble you could see XH134 and XH135 Canberra

[bushande]

Well, if it Eases the pain a little, you are not allone. Pretty much the same bummer for me.

[raameagle]

I think that if you do a 300 mile round trip and see the B-2 that you need then that’s a result! You could have got there and it had been locked away...
At 7pm tonight all three are still parked up outside with the hangar doors closed.
Regards
Mark

Actually I was quite pleased as I knew 1071 landed late at night and could of been in the hangar so to see all three was a good result but I sympathize with people who want to photo them. To be honest it keeps you interested waiting for a notam to appear or something to call up on ground as you don't really know ( unless you are spotting royalty) that nothing is due to move.

It would be but you never know If you could send us 1 over to Sanicole with the B-52, we'd appreciate it!

[Gazcanuk76]

Does anyone know if they are still sat outside the hangars? Or have they been put to bed for the night?

Two posts above it says they are outside with doors closed at 7pm...
