Well I'd advise anyone to, cos you'll also see the very rare sight of 2 RAF Hercules J's too.

Easy boys. Its all good
It was supposed to be the Spanish Hercs but they couldnt get any. So the RAF duly obliged, even though we cant get our own Hercs for our own exercises, let alone get them into Coningsby, but thats a whole other can of worms that will only get me angry.

Hi all friends :
Exactly as somebody said, 6 Thyphoon from 113 Sqn, flies in RAF Coningsby in training exercises, exactly as before, some RAF Thyphoons flying in Moron AFB for the same reason.
113 Sqn of 11Th Wing, is the Spanish OCU and the leader of the Spanish Thyphoon operational program.
Days ago the Usafe chieff in command, flys in the Thyphoon 11-73 in some exercises and air to air missions too.
Best regards to all, spacially to Kinloss friends.
