EX ARCTIC CHALLENGE/BALTOPS/SABRE STRIKE/AMPLE STRIKE 17

[StandardTom]

Forget about Zulu time chaps - Universal Time Co-ordinated (UTC) officially replaced it in aviation years ago.

UTC is the same as Zulu Graham? The military still use the term Zulu, not UTC.

MYTEE 24 and MYTEE 25 are up out of Minot.

I'm not suggesting this is connected, just posting it for information.

Sounds about right mate.

If it is, it's certainly worthy of being discussed in this thread, which is why i thought i'd post the NOTAM earlier!

[Spitfire88]

Fly over at the Indianapolis 500 apparently

[Gary]

Spitfire88 is correct, was watching a build up programme to the race and it was mentioned the 69th BS will be performing the flypast. Due 17.02 UK time

Some believe that Tom but it is scientifically different and based on the Atomic Clock. All Flight Plans, NOTAM's, weather information etc were changed to UTC to reflect the difference and that applies to both civil and military air operations. True , some in the Military still call it "Zulu" possibly because they haven't realised its changed or can't be bothered to give it the correct title - old habits die hard.

[BOLLO]

13.33 SPUR 90H excepting MARSA with MYTEE 24flt

[BOLLO]

13.40 SPUR 90H requesting the block 230/260 cleared AR with MYTEE 24flt .

[MRTT]

In one, out the other...

[Gary]

The Above few posts are one of reasons the staff ask people do not post live tracking info in the airfield section and keep in the Heads up sections. Out of context or with limited info it causes confusion.

I'm hoping the Admin will create a dedicated section for the exercises like usual. Also a dedicated movement will also be created in this section shortly

[Rory76]

So, just to be clear, there's no point decamping to Fairford with my camera this evening? (Apart from to take sunsets/landscapes...)

[MRTT]

Not until we see a NOTAM, no.

[Rory76]

Not until we see a NOTAM, no.

Ok- I'll keep my eye open just in case then!!

[CHILL51]

MYTEE 24 Flight is in bound OTBH (Al Udeid AB )

[MRTT]

Wouldn't be surprised if someone took to a Facebook group later to declare a hunger strike as they didn't arrive today.

[slogen51]

I can't precisely remember but didn't the B-52`s in 2016 arrive direct from Minot without the requirement for tankers?

I remember hearing them on Shanwick but can't recall any tankers.

[martmpf]

Don't need tankers to get here. So don't require ALTRV.
As stated by others, Fairford NOTAM will be best indicator. But also as previously commented these can be very late.
Unless anybody picks up Gander and/or flight plan info.
