Auroa over NE of England last night.

Seen skipping in off the NE coast & descending towards Leeming.

(Probably part of Ex Noble Justification)

Shame, without any MPA we cant play with the big boys now.

Oh how dull.
I thought you meant the Mach 6 one, or at least the aurora borealis...

aurora borealis...
You could see that too, but as you can see that every night up north, I didn't think it was worth a mention.

Not too sure about the phrase 'skipping in' but yes, there is a Canadian CP-140 currently operating from Leeming as a part of Exercise JOINT WARRIOR.

I can also confirm its not really capable of Mach 6.

But hey, what do I know?

Ah, but that's exactly what they want you to think.

When I first saw the thread title, I thought that perhaps someone had managed to get a pic of this flying


when it was not in the "on the ground stealth mode" with the "spotter cloaking device" engaged



but sadly just another MMA thread !
