Just been told that they are leaving Spangdahlem from 07.00BST
They are here for about 3(?) weeks and will be HAS-ed. Presumably, there will be some flying done - Fairford at least.

Apparently they are parked on Bravo ramp (where the "MO" F-15s parked), which means a very long walk down the field.
The good news is that some have already gone out on a sortie. So, flying would appear to "business as usual".
