Re: Trump visit
Hi,
In the past when President Clinton landed in AF1, I was camping at the Willows, the police and security on the base closed all the roads and viewing areas, moving along anyone parked up. It was touch and go if we where going to be evicted off the campsite or not, in the end they kept a eye on us, but allowed us to stay.

Re: Trump visit
I have 'heard' that they are not using MV-22 but using local CV-22 instead?

Re: Trump visit
That's great news
Re: Trump visit
Thanks for the replies but i was planning on going the day before he rocks up. Just wanted to know where the planes are normally parked so can see them and move on.
Re: Trump visit
Can someone please advise what's a good day to visit Mildenhall to see some arrivals in connection with his visit.
Re: Trump visit
So you are saying no VH-3's, VH-60's or CV-22's are operating out of mildenhall. Which base will they use, northolt?
Re: Trump visit
We all need to wait and see I think most are guessing what’s going on. 

Re: Trump visit
I was in London when Obama made 2 visits while back his support aircraft operated out of Mildenhall. The President himself came in via Stansted though. Unless things are radically different I’d imagine a similar scenario?
Re: Trump visit
Hi All
Arch is right Northolt is the base chosen. I know Obama’s stuff all came to Mildenhall but not this time.

Re: Trump visit
I recall seeing Obama et al at Fairford in '14, quite a sight to behold with all the hardware there to support the visit..

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
Re: Trump visit
Looks like there using Prestwick to fetch the helos in, one VH-60 has been seen 163259.

Re: Trump visit
C17 01-4136 has just arrived in STN, I assume in connection with the visit, it did not stay and is climbing over the north sea at 17:25
