I Live near East Mids airport, and every now and again I see an E-3 flying in to the airport. Just wondering why. Do they just shoot approaches or do they actually land?
Cheerso:ok:

Do the CAA have an IR examiner there?

it seems like they're mainly shooting approaches (i.e. not landing)

Simple really, we don't own enough runways for 24 hour ops so we have to go civvy.
Come 5 o'clock there are only a handful of places that are open and none near Waddo.
