Don`t panic chaps.......the planes will be doing routine exercises because of the hightened alert status,basically getting ready to take out any airliners if there is another attempt like 9/11..

there are a crapload of airshows coming up (its that season) so therell be jets transiting all over the place.
add to that the fact that the weathers amazing so the jockeys will be doing shit like flying over thier own houses etc.
wouldnt worry unduly its likely cock all to do with alert state, youll very rarely see fighters as RAF dont have a real CAP aircraft, all ours are interceptors. (ish

I think the one at Mildenhall is definatly yank cars everywhere near the track
Jul 11, 2005 | 10:29 PM
yes mildenhall is a yank base, same as fairford which has the biggest air show in europe which is on this weekend coming so plenty are probably on the way there cause they usually arrive on the weds/thurs, dont like to miss the mass weekend piss up do our boys
