The above link shows the 10 departures which goes with a evening arrival to here.
Do not know flight time but looking at Easyjet from area 3hrs 30mins to 4hrs is a rough guide.

Sig to LN would be about 2.5-3hrs

The times mentioned on those Facebook pages are ROLL CALL times! So that's when the pick up passengers. Times are always local, and departure is on an average some 2hrs later.....

Flightplan says ETD14.00z with a flying time of 4hrs makes it 17.00z at Lakenheath for first cell. Second +30 min.

Things seem to have changed again. 12 due in today (filed), but 6 due out mid day tomorrow, and 6 due out mid day Sunday.

Hotel booked for tomorrow night then! Fingers crossed it doesn't change too much...

Started work early so can finish in time to get there. Helps only living 30 mins away too

Flew Easyjet from Catania (5 miles from Sig) to Luton yesterday. Took exactly 3 hours with no stacking.

Mildenhall facebook shows departure to Travis both Saturday and Sunday.Believe 2 10s are with the 18s and 2 with returning 15s so that would account for them.
May be the Saturday flight is the 18s leaving as a lunchtime departure has been mentioned earlier

I don't have any info to add, but the two Pease/ Travis flights could be the two Travis based C17's which are at the Hall presently, couldn't they?
Cheers, Stig.

Crash,

The FB page WAS on a sat departure for both. But now changed to 1 on sat and 1 on sunday......

But off course might change again ;-)

I respect all of the posts by everyone in the know but if they have flown every leg so far as a 12 ship, that must point to them all departing LN together?

[POL]

Other than they're due to arrive today as two 6-ships?

Staggered by 30 min ;-)

Good luck to everyone today. I'm trying to get the afternoon off work to head over. Might need my nightvision googles since it will be pitch dark

Blue72 has nothing to do with this topic.

I've just deleted some post again, please keep on topic with out the antagonism.

Does anyone know if the F-18's are likely to stop at Pease ANGB on their way home as the KC-10's appear to be?
