Can we please add in the post if hercs are confirmed for Air Defender or just adsb loggings?

As there are currently loads of hercs passing through CYYT and by far not all are heading to Germany (number also go to France and south).

Thanks,
Oz

I will get the Hercules serials tomorrow, after they landed, so no problem.

Obviously the USN flightplans of 30.5. are not worth the paper on which they are written…if they are written on paper at all! 🫣

May I suggest we stick to actual exercise planning and obviously related movements here? As opposed to mentioning flights that we are not clear about yet in terms of AD23 participation.
And when known, movements in the applicable airfield topic of course.

Thanks!
