RETRO41/42 2x Tornado inbound from Bangor USA. Currently crossing the UK @ 1730bst.

Not sure if it is the two that went west on the 14th (43+97 & 44+21) or whether they have swapped aircraft with those based in USA.

Hi,

Visual on KC-135R 59-1508 and Retro 41/42 2 x GAF Tornadoes returning eastbound overhead Leuchars, Scotland on 24th at 17:15L. Would appreciate knowing if any of the seven reported were these two, please? Little confused as 44+21 went to States on 14th but also reported 15th at Buchel?

Many thanks.

Regards

Afternoon,

Had not realised that I was so poor with dates - apologies. Plus have noted that it was 23rd that the Retros came in and I recorded as per your post - not 24th as per mine.

So the GAFFTC marked Tornadoes as visitors (44+34 and 44+78) were inded the Retros that I saw? I have seen both of these before so not critical if that is the case but like a complete record. Shall read the mails (and my own) more carefully next time. Many thanks.

Regards
Rick

Hi,

I fully understand that the GAFFTC at Holloman is supported from aircraft on rotation from Buchel and therefore an effective return to base. Note that the previous report advises of them as visitors from Olli J. I am now reading the thread properly.

Thank you Olli J for these as they complete the record for me for that day.

This evening three Tornados were seen overhead Volkel from Vliehors to Büchel. Callsign was GAF E31. Does someone know their serials?

Yesterday a KC-10 returned to Mildenhall with some problems with their drogue system. Was expected to refuel German Tornado's to the US. Most likely these were the Tornado's concerned.

Beteiligung der Griechischen Luftwaffe an der Übung «Steadfast Noon»
Von Montag, 12. bis Freitag, 16. Oktober 2015 findet in Deutschland die Übung der NATO «Steadfast Noon» statt.
Die Luftwaffe (Hellenic Air Force, HAF) wird mit drei Flugzeugen F-16-Block 52+ und Soldaten der 335. Staffel an der Übung teilnehmen, die im Fliegerhorst Büchel stattfindet.

Die griechische Mitteilung hat der Kollege Otfried Nassauer vom BITS entdeckt, der auch noch ein paar Infos mehr dazu ausgegraben hat:

Der Luftraum über dem Flugplatz Büchel ist deshalb gleich an mehrern Tagen für die zivile Luftfahrt zeitweise gesperrt. Dies gaben die Deutsche Flugsicherung und die militärischen Luftfahrtbehörden der Bundesrepublik bereits vor einiger Zeit bekannt. Angekündigt wurde von ihnen jedoch eine zweiteilige Übung mit dem Namen „Cold Igloo“, deren erster Teil im September stattfand.

Der zweite Teil steht nun an. Im September beteiligten sich nuklearfähige Kampfjets aus Lakenheath, Ghedi, Volkel, Kleine Brogel und Büchel.

Für den zweiten Teil der Übung werden zusätzlich Jets aus Polen, Griechenland, der Türkei und Tschechien erwartet.

Sie werden überwiegend nicht-nukleare Aufgaben in dem Manöver übernehmen.

Außerdem entsendet die Gesellschaft für Flugzieldarstellung GFD einen Learjet, der elektronische Gegenmaßnahmen simulieren kann.

Hello,

Does anyone know what planes arrived today?

Can you have a look on the runway from the 03 side?
