"RCH922" C-5M 86-0015 (at 20.10BST) and "RCH879" C-17A 07-7171 (at 21.50BST) have both departed Dyess AFB, TX for Fairford. The C-5 is flying direct and the C-17 is "gas & go" at Bangor, ME.
Reputedly bringing in equipment for an imminent B-1 deployment.  
Watch this space. |

Thanks for the updates Bob
A disappointing set of 4 though- all been at UK shows and at least one previously deployed.
86-0103 Mildenhall show 1994
86-0110 Mildenhall show 2001
86-0136 RIAT Fairford 1998
86-0140 IAT Fairford 1991 and RIAT 2009
Saves a 100 mile round trip!
Cheers

 Need three of the four- only one seen being 140- but cannot justify an almost 400 mile round trip for three cops.  Happy Days Bob

Evening Fellas,
Well I’m in need of two, so a trip up the M4 is required… Still, having saved a trip to Lakenheath yesterday I don’t feel so bad…
🤞🤞🤞

Yes, I've seen all four too, so a bit of a shame seeing as FFD is just a quick ride away.

I need three, the one I don't need I saw at Nellis in 2014... Typical 🙄

I still need 110 as I was working in Saudi in 2001. However, I'm not convinced I'm any longer that much of an enthusiast to make the 60 mile round trip. For anyone not familiar with Fairford operations during deployments, weekends are usually down times so you are pretty much certain to see all 4 on the pan.

The only justification I have for needing all four is that all their previous visits occurred during my 25-year lay-off.
Anyway, made it up there today to see them (Sunday 10th).

Two are scheduled to depart at 01:00BST BUT will recover to Spangdahlem.........per FC.
NOTE:- This might be for 24 hours later as interpretation of 00:00z can be confusing some times - not to mention that Mon 11th is Columbus Day national holiday in US.. |
