Thanks, Bubbs.......

If you get an idea of the timing, could
you post it here?

I know there's at least one forumeer
who'd like to go and maybe snap some
pics from the perimeter ;)

Once again, I hope someone has the
foresight to save some important bits
and pieces for the future.....

Can narrow it down a touch. They're not supposed to arrive before 11:00 or after dusk, so, sometime between 11 and 4. The rest is up to the RAF I'm afraid

If I remember correctly, there were
B-52s based in Turkey at one time....

Perhaps they plan a visit there????
