Merry Christmas to the Reapers and all on FC that we have met up with, and passed on heads up info etc.
It's been a good year aviation wise, and with the banter and laughs throughout it's been fun. :lol:
Let's look forward to more of the same in 2017.
Looking forward to catching up with those of you that can get over to Lakenheath next week.
All the best

And a big 'oorah' to all of the above - lets hope 2017 is even better

It has been a blast - from Mildenhall to Lakenheath, Bentwaters and Fairford and back - enjoyed every second!- Not so many keen on Rendlesham ( :P :ninja: )

All the very best

Hi guys any ideas from Last year or anyone in the know what time flying normally start on Wednesday this week?

It's nearly 2-3 hour drive each way for me so was wondering what time too set off,

Cheers.

Us 'Reapers' were there early doors last year on the Thursday, and the action started before 0800 in terms of engine starts ;)

Hope that helps a bit :thumb:

Cheers :)

Weather at the moment, is not looking great for Wednesday, would it be still worth the trip down?

Looks like freezing fog on Wed 'til about 1000ish, but might clear a bit earlier :halo:

Thurs should be just frost and clag, but no fog :whistle:

Don't quote me on that, as the local forecast has been known to be inaccurate ;)

1hr 30? We've got 4 hours and have taken the chance! If you let the weather rule you'll never go anywhere!
