KC135R's airborne
Interesting - 8 x KC135's airborne in trail Northbound and 2 more joining up behind (10 total)
Wooo, woooo IG |
Do you mean KC-135?
|
A couple in the South East and another to the West on the Welsh border - 11 in total? Interesting!
|
Now going feet wet over Newcastle. I wonder if Minot are having another Baltic cruise today?
|
Probably off to Exercise Ruska 2020 in the airspace of Sweden and Finland. Taking place until October 6th.
The one over Manchester, Bronco31, is actually a C130 out of Moron, Spain. Bit of low level in the Lake district and Scotland before going back there. |

Thanks d_p.
Re Ex Ruska, It does seem that they are going the long way if so. Presume those that have broken off and are heading south have topped up the others? Main group seems to be heading for Germany now. |

FWIW Ex Astral Knight finished last week. So all in all its all very intriguing. |
Very intriguing. They are all now south bound over the southern North Sea. I wonder if that was a practise survival scramble? OK, time for lunch ...

You never know a flight of B1s may pop out of ADS-B stealth mode behind them at any moment...
|
With ADSB those KC135's could easily be B1/2s, who's really looking. (One on, one off)

Exercise WolfPack according to FC

Main group seems to be heading for Germany now. and before some smartarse points out that they can actually receive via the boom (backwards), I believe that is not a normal MO. |
Does G-VYGM currently heading to LGW ex ARN have anything to do with this? Just curious.
|
It is using 9L flight number so presumably a wet lease
