Was getting what sounded like the start of take of clearances on tower 124.800/338.225 not long ago
Can anybody that's down there see any movement ?
Thank again
All the very best as always

Edit 09:21 124.8000 - message -"DOOM11H tower" - tower contacting DOOM11

[stubb33]

09.45 departed Rwy 09 60-0059 LA then 60-0017 MT Doom 11+12?

[Skywatcher]

Doom 11 landed back on rny 09 at around 5pm local .
Think doom 12 was immediately behind Doom 11 (this needs confirmation as I only watched from the garden which is under the app to 27 , so only watched from a distance of about 1 .2 mile ).But I'm sure doom 12 was on tower 124.800 at about the same time.
Hope this helps

20.55In the descent for either Brize/FFD 436AW C 5M 84-0061 showing as RCH ??? down to down to fl 137,may explain the late NOTAM ??

[stubb33]

60-0059 Doom 11 arrived back at 16.45 did an approach to Rwy 09 and fly through. 60-0017 Doom 12 then landed on Rwy 09 at 16.48 and 11 landed at 16.51

[BOLLO]

C 5M down to 7,330ft looking inbound to FFD ???

[SamP]

Correct Paul, this info would be better off posted in the Heads Up section until it's down though.

[Skywatcher]

Has just landed used rny 09 for landing
Thankyou for the advanced warning ,I would have missed it if someone had not mentioned it was a c-5 inbound as I'm currently watching the would cup .I went outside to the garden and I heard the c-5 land at ffd .
Many thanks again all
All the very best as always

Doom 11 left ffd at around 10:00 ,great sight seeing it over the house
I hope they use the 27 end today for the landing later on ,so I can get a decent landing pic of them ,whilst I still can
I wonder if doom 12 will go up this afternoon?
All the very best as always
