ok thx for the update on the Swedish.

Any idea about Cube61flight from Sunday?
Vincent

Vincent, for the Cube flight see : http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php? ... 0&start=60, Cube is one of the standard ferry callsigns to/from the USA.

At this moment 1000 UTC LHOB240 (C-17A MAA) on Malta ATC ,going tactical later.
Also UAF1211 (UAE L100 i guess) checking in at Malta ATC.

just heard Arrow23 flight of 2 F-16's out of Sigonella.
So that should make it Danish AF.
What is flying under callsign UN154?
greetings Vincent

[Wolbie]

Vincent,
Don't forget Turkish AF F-16's operate from Sigonella as well, the Arrow flights sound quite different from the Phantom flights, so I'm still guessing TuAF F-16's.
UN154 was mentioned by Malta ATC as a Challenger last Sunday. http://www.maltaspotting.com reports it as C-FXHC CRJ2.
