Another early start for the hornets, Copper01 flight up at 10:30
"Copper 01 Flight" J-5001 & J-5234, arrived at Lossiemouth at 11.05am. J-5001 was fitted with a "LIVE" AMRAAM on the outboard right wing pylon. They departed to Benbecular at 1.20pm but it would be nice to know if the AMRAAM was still fitted on its return to Leeming.
flight reported themselves 'unarmed' contacting Leeming upon return.

Does anyone know if the Swiss flew any training missions this afternoon prior to those at 17:15?

14:25 2x J-5008 and J-5018
14:38 3× J-5004, J-5016, J-5024 (004 and 024 in pairs T/O)

About an hour later the 3 ship arrived first followed by the 2 ship.

No RAF Hawks but the Qatar Hawks ZB133 and ZB135 flew early afternoon with ZB135 popping a brake chute on landing.

Thanks very much Andy.

Much appreciated.

Would anyone have a callsign for the two Swiss flights please? I think one may have been "Baton ??".

To add, the flightline consisted of Hawks CH,CO,CS,CA,CG,CM,ZB132,ZB133 & ZB135 before the 100sqn examples were hangared. ZB131 & ZB134 could be seen in the southern hangar when the Grobs were put away, with ZB131 being the example nearest the doors.
Nice to see you again today Kip.

Possibly to Lossie for live firing on the Benbecula range . Hornet J-5001 usually shows on virtual radar and was using COPPER01 c/s last week .

Swiss helicopters getting ready for departure at 14:20 callsigns sounds like Grey?
Edit: a busy few hours between 1400-1600. 236,018,026,008,009,016 departed T340,T332,T342 did a short sortie to the north.
5001 and 5238 returned from Lossie.

Are those Hornet`s in departure order? They look as though they might be.

Presumably with the 30-35 mph wind gusts expected there won't be much flying today or tomorrow?

J-5001 and J-5238 both just off to Lossie and then presumably the Benbecula range as appears the norm now with the 10:30 sortie .
