i was there at the WAVE on Wednesday morning as heard about the Chilean visit (photo below). I guess the Sentry in the background is one of the three they are getting.
Is it the same a/c that’s been flying around on air tests recently? Also Chileans left yesterday morning around 11am.
cheers

The way around it is to quote him, then you will see the link, copy it and paste it in a window then it will open, it will ask you to log in, click log in with twitter and then close that log in window ( you can't on the first window.) then simply close the original quote post.

me too - i suspect it depends on which browser you use and what your cookie blocking settings and such things are (not that i really have any idea about those things)

Oh, and I'm using mostly Brave, occasionally Vivaldi for my browsing of t'interweb - no plans to change back to anything Microsoft or direct-Gurgle (I know Chrome is used by my current browsers as a basis), and avoiding Firefox 'til they sort out its memory-hogging practices.

According to ADS-B Exchange ZH103 is flying circles around Aviemore - still Chileans receiving training or UK borrowing back to fill obvious capability gap?

Ah, thank you NutLoose - unfortunately I only read this after I'd posted on the Brize storm-damage thread. I love your use of the word "simply"... just brilliant!

USN has scrapped the plan to turn an ex-RAF E-3D into a TE-6B trainer for the E-6B TACAMO fleet - aircraft to be disposed of.
Production of the first EC-130J to replace the E-6Bs is due to start in 2027 anyway now.
