B52's still around?

Post by Pune » Wed Jun 22, 2016 9:45 am

Hi,
Just returned from lovely 2 week holibobs on The Outer Hebrides, sorry to ask but are the B52's still at Ffd or have they left for home??
Cheers

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Only just, Pune.

Another thread here rumours that two depart today and one tomorrow. The NOTAM suggests that some (if not all) are departing today.

Afternoon guys,
Newbie here, so apologies in advance for the dumb question.
On the NOTAM it says "RWY09/27 open for scheduled movements only". Does this mean there are scheduled movements for today, or just that it's available?

Thanks
Dylan

It usually means that something is due in or out. What that is we won't know is until someone picks up comms on their scanner, something shows up on one of the tracking apps or sites or engines are started. It's a case of wait and see.

That's part of the fun!

Cheers
