It seems that 30+73/Spcl has been tucked away for most of the week, most likely Tuesday onwards. Also of note, ZH106 has made an appearance from Maintenance Tues/Wed and has been placed back in the hangar - of-course if anybody still needs these

A BIG THANK YOU to Ben Sadler and friends for posting the WADDO movements.
They have been very helpful to plan a productive trip to the UK during Cobra Warrior !

Arriving here on Sunday 15th September was IAF B707 serial 272 as IAF474 from LLNV.

This tanker flew a local mission on the 16th.

From a post on social media, this will provide tanker support for the departure of the F-15s back home on Thursday 19th September.

Thursday 19th September,

Further to the above, there should be the departure of the F-15s with 2 B707s by 09:00


After that, the 2 C-130J-30s at Brize are likely to appear here.
