At Singapore, the B52 flys from wherever its posted, Guam or Deago Garcia does one fly past and leaves back to where it came from.

The indication from the commentators is that it only does it once, however it did make the pass on other days of the show.

There will be a Roulettes display over Cottesloe tomorrow afternoon - good opportunity to see what frequency they're using (has been 136.2 in the past).

Caught some very scratchy comms on 279.8 this morning. Possibly using callsign 'Cannon' which I understand is assigned to the 1 Sqn F/A-18F.

Yes it certainly got around today, landing at a golf course that had no knowledge of it being a nominated landing spot and then missing its mark in Carine: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/ne ... ne-street/
