Lifter & Machete

Post by FergiZA600 » Thu Aug 24, 2023 5:30 pm

Can any One confirm that a pair of Chinooks and Apaches have arrived at Leeming today.

Not heard a thing as guessing runway 34 has been in use

Saw the Chinooks OTT my place and tracked on ADSB to Leeming. Noticed Machete flight tracking that way too.

Lifters arrived just after the A400 which used 34

Anyone have a serial for Lifter 2?

ZK563 was plotting yesterday towards Leeming, can anyone confirm whether this is correct?
