B-1B about to Divert

Subject: B-1B about to Divert 2009-01-26, 05:53

Another B1 (RAMA 42) is about to Divert.
Its tanker is u/s but RAMA 41 is scheduled to AR with Quid 93 very soon.

Mildenhall is the primary divert.... but wait until its confirmed. Otherwise it may go to somewhere like Moron!

Keep an eye on the active Quid 93+94 thread in the OTT board.

Yes, they have cocked up massively.
First of all, they wanted to divert due to their tanker not getting airborne.
Then they knocked off diverting because they wanted to offload fuel to both B1B's.
then, after flying some distance out past Lands End, they have now decided they wont have enough fuel afterall...
