@rafredarrows@RoyalAirForce Well done Adam on your selection as the boss and welcome home post your OOA. This is an amazing leadership role working alongside some brilliant people who do much to inspire those across our nation…and beyond. Fly safe and enjoy every single day as ‘the boss’
@IXBSqn Awesome ….Happy Birthday to the oldest Bomber Squadron in the world….
Also, the cleanest tea towels I have ever seen in an aircrew crewroom hang proudly in the background too. Was that the OpsO too?
@RoyalAirForce Modest, brave,committed, measured and understated - typical of many from the Air Mobility Force who deserve far more recognition than is the norm. Well done Kev…well done the AMF. Thank you for your service.
For all of you who couldn’t be here to witness the return of the two deployed Sentry aircraft over the last week…a highlights video of their return for you to enjoy 👍
To get airborne, the @Boeing E-3D Sentry relies on a team of Ground Engineers who prepare & maintain the aircraft, ensuring it is fit to fly supporting @DefenceOps & @NATO ✈️
A Flight Engineer remains on-board throughout, monitoring the performance of the aircraft💪

@RAFWaddington Brilliant. Ever since I first joined the Tornado GR Force in 1991, the Sentry has been an ever present on operations (and exercises), keeping us ‘alive’, controlling the air war and enabling others to do their business. I am immensely proud to now serve with.
@RAFWaddington Brilliant job from Number V(AC) Squadron, No 1 ISR Wing and all those who supported them at @RAFWaddington, #Onewaddo, @RaytheonUk, @DefenceES all the way through to the final sortie. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a great team.
