| No source for this info - it's me. I actually live about 10 miles from RAF Fairford, where the USAF B-52s in the UK are currently stationed. At least three have flown overhead in a south-westerly direction this evening. Heading south west would take the birds away from French airspace, to overfly the Med via Spain. Is this it?! |

This flight path would take the aircraft away from French airspace and overfly the Mediterranean via Spanish airspace, heading into an Iraqi war theater. The flights reportedly were for training purposes only, and the planes landed back at the RAF shortly after 2130 GMT. To read |
