Dakar seems like a regular stop, as does somewhere called Killeen (Texas?) and Belize. Usually the Voyagers, but sometimes the A400s.

I’ve seen both Hercs and A400s at ex RAF bases such as Leuchars doing circuits. The AWACS when it’s up seems to circle Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

The Americans have been busy since January, so not just the current exercise. Lots of evening activities out of Mildenhall often going down to the south of Spain where I’ve seen them meet up with B52’s on 2 occasions and other aircraft.

Even noticed some US Navy 737’s at Aldergrove of all places a few weeks back.

Just spotted the RAF Rivet Joint coming back home having spent the day circling the Black Sea. Sounds like everyone is being kept busy.
