Due Waddington Sunday 3rd.

Post by reaper493 » Wed Feb 27, 2019 7:48 am

So, if this is true it will be an incredible sight at Waddington....

C5 due in around 12 on Sunday, departing around 3.

Reported to be bringing in an RJ simulator.

With thanks to the WAVE group on Facebook.

Nice, I will keep an eye on this. If definitely true will be a great sight. Closest I've been to one flying was watching one leave mildenhall whilst I was at lakenheath. Certainly took everyone's attention away from the f15s in the circuit at the time as it lifted off.

An An-124 isn't that exciting. When the An-124 collected the Nimrod it was off the ground from 03 before the hump.

Thanks for the update mate, is there an ETD for it if it does get in? I may be able to get mid afternoon to see it leave if I'm lucky.

Thanks
Martin

I think he departed about two hours late so perhaps a bit later than 11.00.
