Geilenkirchen 12 April 2010 - Tanker Town

Post by awacsfan » Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:17 am

Some inbounds for this morning:

1.) Sky IL-76TD # 4L-SKG c/s "National 1513"
2.) Iowa ANG KC-135R # 62-3566 c/s "Reach 858"
3.) Iowa ANG KC-135R # 60-0316 c/s "Reach 437"

Both feature the "Sioux City" tail band. 62-3566 has some nose art which looks like the old 7th Air Force disc, don't know if the second has a nose art as well as he came in right over our heads and did some interesting maneuvers before touch-down. Weather absolutely terrible with rain and fog, slightly improving just now.

With the TuAF KC-135 that arrived last week, we now have three tankers at GK. Not bad :D

The Turkish AF KC-135R flew a local sortie this morning and is currently flying a second sortie. Didn't expect him to fly two sorties a day but the more the merrier :D
