E3 Sentry above RAF Henlow 17/05/14

[Punch]

Does anybody know the reason an E3 Sentry was tearing up the sky at my guess, 6-8 Thousand feet over RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire this afternoon?

Fantastic sight, much more so than the dreary Luton bound regulars.

It was ZH101 returning to Waddington after an exercise in Lithuania.

It has been reported on the Luton thread that it has been on crew training at Luton

You mean a 4 engined B737 fuselage with a mushroom on top is so much more exciting than a 2 engined B737 fuselage minus the mushroom?

Sad ... Very Sad http://www.pprune.org/images/infopop/icons/icon13.gif

It's the nearest most of us will get to seeing a flying saucer.

LOL!


I got excited about a McDonnell Douglas the other day. Is that bad?


It was climbing through FL210 so I couldn't even see it properly.
