SkyGuardian drone to make transatlantic flight

Hi Guys and Girls,

Hot of the heels of the F35B's coming home it appears that the MQ-9B is coming to RIAT.

I just hope that we stand up an initial unit sooner rather than later.

Kind regards

Aaah RIAT is kinda looking good this year but unfortunately I definitely cannot attend it this year, a bit gutted but I have other priorities to sort out. Maybe toward the end of the year I'm gonna have a drive around near Lakenheath and Mildenhall to see what I can see moving about. Also thinking of having a trip to the Mach loop

If the weather holds out that could be a great event :-)

Sadly abit of a trip for myself here in the sticks of Yorkshire. (And a little busy at work! :-( )

Kind regards

Rich

This popped up on my facebook and the formation is flying over a town that's about 20 mins from me so I checked the date and guess what .. I'm at work lol. My plane spotting is on hold for now this year

They departed North Dakota just over 30 minutes ago (1248 pm July 10). They're looking at about an 1845 landing on the 11th in the UK.

He's holding over Cardigan Bay, 122 miles out.
