ZZ334/RR9102 & ZZ331/RR9103 both heading for Sin City Piet, presumably some more Tiff's in tow. When you finish with the exotic racing, go get the noz!

Looks like there may only be 6 Tiffs, at least so far.

They routed via TXKF (Bermuda) en route as follows:

Voyager ZZ332 arrived 10-Jan from LPLA/Lajes bringing ZK374, ZK425 and ZK439. They departed 12-Jan to Macdill

Voyager ZZ334 arrived 12-Jan from LPLA/Lajes bringing ZK339, ZK365 and ZK435. They departed 13-Jan to Macdill but pre-departure ZK435 went tech and stayed back.

Voyager ZZ331 arrived 13-Jan from LPLA/Lajes bringing just ZK377. They departed 14-Jan direct to Nellis but ZK435 again stayed behind at TXKF and is still here.

I understand that 3 are/were 3 others at LPLA/Lajes comprising ZK375, 431 and 433. Will be interesting to see what happens to those 3 and ZK435 in the coming days.

We'll see what the Omi situation looks like in a week. I wouldn't mind catching this one.

Piet,
Not all of those RAF Typhoons have arrived at Nellis. Three of them are still at Lajes, ZK375, 431 and 433.

well, it says expected participants :-) but the Voyager is inbound from UK to collect these stranded aircraft, hopefully they arrive before the start of the RF, so noted so far.

ZK375 and ZK433 noted returning to the UK (to Coningsby) as Ascot9517 flight (along with Voyager ZZ331 as Ascot 9104 to Brize). It's possible ZK431 was in the flight and proceeded on to Lossiemouth. So, at least two of the three Typhoons won't be in the U.S. for this flag.
