Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
Therein lies the problem -- there isn't one.
They only tend to issue NOTAMs for anything scheduled to arrive / depart outside of the normal airfield open hours ( off the top of my head, I think that's something like 07:00-17:00hrs ) or on weekends / bank holidays, and even then they aren't guaranteed to do so.

SPICY has gone off ADSB in a puff of smoke, there are a couple of KC135 and even an AWACS in the area

Been listening & checking ADS-B Exch. since around 05:00hrs, not heard anything in or out & nothing showing on ADS-B.
NOTAM's still up, although due to expire in about 5 minutes

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
The rumour would appear to be true...if the airshow.org website is correct, there's a B-52 displaying at Bournemouth Air Fest on Saturday

Sanicole too next weekend, perhaps?
I hope so, as I'm going there because I heard they have an F-35 displaying

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
SPICY's up, currently heading Eastbound
Edited to add...
Or maybe not!
Definitely up, but from the sounds of it seems to be stooging around in the local area.
Unfortunately, usual crappy reception means I'm only catching snippets of the comms.

And they're off again, currently heading East(ish)

Off to bomb Russia, by the looks of it!

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
Guess that confirms there are 2 B-52s up.....
Didn't hear any comms, but ADS-B Exch. is showing SPICY 51 currently up over the Kattegat heading towards Sweden, with SPICY 52 now showing heading roughly North abeam Gotland.
Maybe they're both off to bomb Russia!

Presumably not in a hurry to RTB, they look to be AARing with HOBO 40 ( KC-135 ) off the Estonian coast

Coasting out over Gothenburg
Edited @ 17:20 to add...
Ah, well, they aren't on their way back just yet -- currently both playing over Denmark again.
Nah, it was a classic bit of trolling by the USAF, skiffing around within spitting distance of the Russian border.Getting a bit close to Russia now
