The morning ceremony (11.00) had aircraft tasked, the last time I saw the cemetery staff face to face.

The situation with Sally B is a bit different. If a time is requested by the cemetery, there is a fee to be paid. If, however, Sally B staff chose a time that suits them, no fee is required.

But, I put my cash on nearer 12.00 than much later.

Flyby of 1 x KC135 and 2 x F15 took place at 10.59 and according to ADS-B tracks was about a 3/4 of a mile to the east of the overhead. Given all the trees at the cemetery I’m not sure the aircraft would be seen by all

Yet again they used a Germany based USAF JTAC and yet again they missed the IP, and flew by to the south.

Other fly pasts (after the ceremony) included a Spitfire, three Piper Cubs and Sally B, all of which made 2 or three orbits.
