Additional Flying RAF Leeming 9 November Four Week Exercise
Message from RAF Leeming
A bit earlier than usual for 2026, there will be additional flying from RAF Leeming from 9 November as the Station hosts Exercise YORKNITE.
The four-week exercise enables the Swiss Air Force to achieve a significant part of its night-flying training, alongside some training with the Royal Air Force. We are aware that, whilst the Exercise is very popular with enthusiasts, it can cause disturbance to local residents. Mindful of this, the final wave of each day will land no later than 2200.

A message from RAF Leeming: RAF Leeming will soon be entering a period of exercise hosting, during which there will be additional jet and helicopter movement. The local community can expect increased flying from 20 August to 2 October - including some night flying. We understand that Exercises can cause disturbance to the local community, and endeavour to minimise low and late flying in particular.
