Re: Aircraft you spotted today
A Royal Navy Lynx from the HMS Ocean, callsign Navy348 landed at 1500lt
An RAF jet, with callsign OUP122, just landed after suffering from an engine failure...since I did see it yet, I don't know if it is a Typhoon or Tornado, I'll tell you later......it's another Tonka
So at Luqa we currently have 3 x RAF Tornado Gr.4s, 1 x Royal Danish AF F-16 and 2 x Libyan AF Mirage F.1.
