[zero_gravity]

BLACK01 [?] in the climb , usual heading at present, just waiting for the turn.
NOTAM opened at 0545.

Black 01 working 252.875 requested routing KEPAD > GODOS?

[zero_gravity]

I suspect GODOS is correct BJ . The Black Sea is swamped with Nav Warns of "military exercises " today , more so than usual.
Presently good heading for the east coast via Norwich

[AK01]

08.45z Black01 checking in Rhein Radar 355.625.

[zero_gravity]

That figures , tracked well into German airspace towards Oldenburg on PP

[AK01]

09.00z switching Warsaw radar 233.075, by now out of my area.
233.075 is sector D and T in Warsaw FIR, both in South West Poland, so not a regular Black Sea mission perhaps?

Great info 'Alpha Kilo' to augment stalwarts 'Zulu Golf' & 'Bravo Juliet' - cheers fella's

[zero_gravity]

BLACK01 on his way back , about 20 miles south of Bremen...so some way to go yet.

I was reckoning on an airspeed of 400 kts Bremen to the Dutch coast and mlat predicts 420kts , so not that far out , must have a bit if a tail wind.

Slightly odd engine sound as it passed over the house just now?? Different to the usual throttling up and back...
