I'd suggest all the KC-Qs were either 100th ARW or 9th SRW; off the top of my head I can't remember when they became part of the latter:- home-base Beale, CA. I thought there were just six on TDY supporting the pair of SR-71s.

## - 72-0286 reported by BAR as "N99890 (20286) T-43A". No unit quoted.

** - 74-1676 was not reported with the rotating TDY at that time. BAR reports the unit's C-130Hs in the UK as follows, and I checked the magazine the following month, and this machine hadn't joined the TDY by then... so make of it what you will...

BAR (July 1987)
Mildenhall - June movements
<snip>
"463rdTAW C-130H's began moving in at the beginning of the month to replace the
3I7thTAW C-130E's with the resident "Bravo Squadron" (50thTAS 3I3thTAG) as follows:
41660, 41662, 41670, 41671, 41673, 41674, 41675, 41677, 41679, 41680, 41684, 41688,
41691, 42061, 42130, 42133 and 42134, all in lizard camouflage. 42131 has also been
reported but we would appreciate confirmation."

Thank you very much, appreciate it!
I think the 74-1676 was then a misread by me if I'am the only one who have seen that serial.....

Best regards,

Saw N57JE, with a red cheat line, a number of times at Greenham Common - was that really the same airframe?

It certainly was Boeing 737-T43A c/n 20693. Obviously liked being civvie as it eventually became N5177C with EG & G.
