Gold 31 back to parking

Looks like gold32 is going to Gander?

What possibility is there that all the information about this delivery could be kept in one place! At the moment there are three different subjects in three different forums. Needs sorting out.

Any sign of an Eastbound Airspace Reservation for today?

dont look like it dave

Technically they ought to be able to make it non stop without the need for a tanker. An F-15 fitted with conformal tanks, standard I believable on F-15SA's, and drop tanks has a range of 3,570 miles. So if they get fed up with waiting for broken USAF tankers they could use the victory salute!

The answer is here - with discussion. See viewtopic.php?f=139&p=886571#p886571

That east bound ALTRV that bollo posted looks a possibility - it is quite late at 30W something like 13:20Z so if they are coming they would only just be starting i believe.

Unfortunately i have been out so not heard live ATC Bangor but if gold 32 is coming it should be active soon?

oh fudge: got to go out again - need the C-17 that is in Mildenhall 88193 - so still can't listen!

Edit: by the way take a look at this link - got some nice pics - https://www.instagram.com/_f15_sa/

Watching adsb exchange which is strangley quiet - only thin showing at the moment are four or five airliners heading down the East Coast

Post by **plmc135** » Tue Mar 28, 2017 12:29 pm

Not sure ADS-B is working correctly at the moment, I am getting no aircraft showing at all.

No Saudis today (Tuesday). NOTAM has been pulled and reposted for tomorrow. Same times , same routing.

ADS-B is not working at present

Thanks for that , do you have a rough idea of the etd/eta of them tomorrow ?

Matt, same times, same routing, as suggested above, should put them at 56N30W no earlier than 1318, and out of the other side at waypoint MIMKU (56N10W, off the North-Western coast of Ireland) no later than 1641. Assume that it's another hour from MIMKU to Lakenheath, so that's 1741.

Also bear in mind that ALTRV timings are in UTC, so add an hour for local UK time. So effectively they should be at Lakenheath by 7pm at the very latest.
