832 was on the a.s.p. when 257 & 274 taxied mid a.m. as second pair - it went nowhere.

Same same p.m.

Never saw 829, and it definitely didn't fly Tuesday - was there until base closed shortly after Eastflight 104 lifted.

Broken English - they speak it better than us !

Can someone confirm that they are going home on Friday 13th? If they're hangared overnight it looks like it'll have to be a trip to see them depart...

They can probably spell better than us as well judging by a lot of Forum posts

Does anyone know if the Gripens are likely to be parked outside viewable over the weekend? Will make a trip up tomorrow if they are.

Unlikely, they've been hangared each night.
