Hi markranger
Thank you very much for the reply... haven't seen any reports of the Germans flying today as yet so looks like you may be correct and a simular pattern of flying to last year.
Many thanks again, much appreciated.

Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior General Questions.
That said today a couple of mixed formations have gone up today but look more like just normal flying and not Exercise based.?

Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior General Questions.
Had 4 German Tornados low over the house in South Wales yesterday afternoon! Still in shock, as we only ever get helicopters , sometimes jets above 8000ft, so this was a very nice surprise, the sound was amazing!
More today please! Can't be greedy :-)

Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior General Questions.
They have launched now and Coningsby seems to be on days this week so a guess is next week might be the night phase?

Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior General Questions.
Please forgive my ignorance, I've seen posts about the German's and exercise flying happening every other day - is this correct or are they flying everyday?
Hoping to go over tomorrow and looking forward to getting some German Tornados if I can
Thanks
