Photos/Video: RAF Typhoons & Tristar Arrive
[Updated with video] Four Royal Air Force [RAF] typhoons and one Tristar tanker arrived at the L.F. Wade International Airport at around 1.00pm today [Mar 11].
They appeared to be stopping over on their way to a training exercise in Nevada, and we understand that the jets are set to leave Bermuda late tomorrow morning.
This is the third time the RAF have stopped in Bermuda this year, having made brief visits on January 9th and on January 20th.

Cool. If you can a time for tomorrow would be great.Thanks Bernews
Departure has been delayed until 11:00 am on Friday morning.
LOL…Have no fear,Bernews will hear!!!!
I hope the on duty air traffic controller allows the RAF pilots to do their customary fly over after they take off. Was disappointed to find out that the Bermuda air traffic controller on duty turned down their request. It is the closest we will ever get to an airshow.
Agreed,but maybe scheduled aircraft were in the area and it’s possible it was vetoed by New York(bermuda)ATC..128.500 that have the final say.
Agreed…. Pilots were refused a fly-by again today
Stuffy traffic controllers
I wonder if any of my old RAF mates are in any of the *aircrews* (Nah – too old for the fighter jets)??? I served for 5 yrs in HM RAF from 1968 – 1973!!! I guess now I gave the game-away!!!
Sooo. You want fly-by’s do you!!! I have personally seen 4/5 like this!!

Awesome videos.
The planes were still sleeping, does anyone know when they’re scheduled to fly out?
It’s supposed to be Saturday morning now.. I met a bunch of the pilots last night! WIll try and keep you posted on departure time, if I’m allowed to share that information with the public..!
The answer is around 1300… 1pm in non-pilot speak!
