Howler 61 & Howler 62 Saturday 4th November 2023

[Skywatcher]

Nothing heard yet so he must still be out there somewhere
Must be more than 10 hours now ,unless he landed somewhere,he certainly has not returned here just yet as far as I’m aware at least ( that could be tomorrow or later this afternoon my guess).

Sorry forgot to add this......if you thought you heard Howler , this should help.

I caught ' Papa Oscar Lima' but thought it might be the last three of a Waypoint especially as I saw mention of Brest

Are they still not back? Amazing!

One was reporting a main gear issue before they departed hence the 20mins slip.Poss returned after burning off fuel as a precaution ? ?

[Lossie]

Initial reports on this thread from Mildenhall mentioned two tanker callsigns but only 1 tanker got airborne so could be that one B-1B had to abort the mission with only 1 Mildenhall tanker launching. Just a guess.

Think it will be picking up the one that is still up from last night. One came back yesterday a couple of hours after departing.
