Tomorrow, (weds 01), there should be 2x Indian a/f C-17’s and an IL-78, (tanker version of IL-76) routing into Waddington. IL-78 should be dragging 5x Mirage 2000’s into Waddington…..these should all route up from the south!
Aah! That explains the Saudi AF A330 that overflew my garden the other day Waddington-bound!
Thanx!
