@Saint1Mil It was a tweet of that arrival of the Tornadoes & A400 where my Twitter account of about 3 followers went up a couple of thousand! 😅

@BobFranklin3 @Andyyyyrrrr Are they still here 😅

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@stephenmedlock There was an Atlas 747 in yesterday so perhaps that. They are doing almost daily shifts into Fairford at the moment

Huge shame for local businesses and those regulars to RIAT

@daveyvermaak I hear there was hope right up to yesterday. Base preparations ordinarily would have started in the next week and the USAF just can’t guarantee it.
Some have seen this as an indication of USAF future action but I think more a cut off for logistic planning/prevent losing money

@bodz156 They absolutely do. Some of whom I consider friends and neighbours. It’s a huge shame

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@bodz156 Absolutely. Lots of people will suddenly be out of work as a result too

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@Andyyyyrrrr It’s almost like a huge bomber deployment was never actually a positive thing!

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@dubshn1028 Oh no how dare we?!

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@GarethDEdwards @aircadets Absolutely. And a lot of jobs too which is a huge shame.

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@Deputy_1984 From what I’ve been told there was a lot of hope even until this week but clearly a stalling on progress of the infamous “deal” scuppered it.
RIAT logistics start 8 weeks out so hit the point of decision.

4 x B-1s out today on another training run

@Cheekybaua @blackswanadria Training sortie 👍🏼

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

B-52 engines fired up here. Evening departure it looks like 🛫

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

Engines powered down it sounds like. Maybe a delay/scrubbed flight out

B-52 coming into land this week after conducting a training sortie 🛬

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

@marshn282 Unfortunately so 🫩 Needs to stop soon if the usual summer plans are going to happen 😬

[Planes Out The Window ✈️ @window_planes]

Despite all the chaos surrounding the area recently, it’s always good to see the 747

Having spent a lot of time on them over the years its nice to still see them out and about.
