May tie up with Ex Pashtun Lightning? i know its more of a CAS/FAC exercise, but maybe some CSAR work thrown in with the Chinooks?

Sounds good to me, Even better if they are flying! Next question then, where is the best vantage point of the field for comings and goings? I dont want to be an inconvenience to land owners, given that it will be dark o' clock when I pass.

Hope they head our way again when they return. We had some superb ultra low passes this week.

Have heard that the chinooks will not be venturing to shawbury for deployment and there is rumour of replacement by two islanders :whistle: Not confirmed but a little birdie told me!
