Thank you but no need need Charlie, I was unclear. I guess it was just something I had on my mind.

Before this thread gets `moded` for being a mile off topic.
The US are sending a B-52, a present day representative of the USAF (USAAF), the UK are sending Tornadoes, a present day representative of the RAF. The BBMF (RAF) will be there with its UK WWII aircraft as will other privately operated UK aircraft. The US Aircraft are be represented by private C-47`s that have travelled over and other aircraft. Vulcan XH558 does not fit in to either of these categories and I see no reason why anybody would expect her to be there….. It would be nice though 🙂

6/3/2014 – OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. — Three B-52 Stratofortresses flew to the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) area of operations today to train and integrate with U.S. and allied military forces in the region.

During this short-term deployment, the multi-role heavy bombers will conduct training flights in the USEUCOM area of operations, providing opportunities for aircrews to sharpen skills in several key operational sets and become familiar with airbases and operations in the region. Additionally, in recognition of the legacy of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II, a B-52 will take part in the 70th anniversary D-Day commemoration in Graignes, France, June 7.
