U2 flights!!

[Al dunn]

Possibly B52 to Radom/Silic Airshows

[Al dunn]

U2 has departed as QUID09

[Gundylunch]

U-2 Left at approx 7.50 local

[page_verify]

Generally speaking, the flying program is Buffs and Bones each flying alternate days down to the exercises in the Czech area, as well as the air show support. But, this is an AFGSC deployment to Fairford rather than a deployment for the NATO exercise and air shows.....

(No media day for this deployment and the above is from an approved official source.)

[Al dunn]

QUID 09 went out to POPA(M)

[Gundylunch]

Inbound RCH flt (I missed the number) is approx 25 minutes out, given arrival message to Foxtrot Ops on 313.550

[SamP]

Foxtrot Ops, 313.550 is shared for some baffeling reason with Banter Ops up the road at Mildenhall. You were hearing a KC-10 inbound to there.

[Timmo]

Ah, of course, I forgot about that. Currently scanning Brize and Fairford so I missed the beginning of the transmission as a light aircraft was talking to Brize. Thanks for clearing that up

Indicates POPA is in Mexico and I doubt that is the waypoint, the (M) is not understood at least by me
North, south, west or east direction could be a start if anybody knows. Back to CONUS or return to Fairford expected?

[Tjm99]

The 757 is going to brize.
