REQ/LOG: Tuesday 9th June 1987 - Fairford

Post by SwindonWeasel » Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:36 pm

Hi all,
I am a purge of my old logs to clear up anything not confirmed by
me at the time of the sighting. I realise that posting requests without
sharing the log can be annoying, so I will put that days log after the
request for interest of anyone who would like to see it or anyone who can
possibly help?....many thanks in advance.


The request is for the identity of the five USAF KC-135A's that were sitting
here in the darkness when I arrived. I found out late evening that the Saudi
E-3A was on a delivery flight stop-over here :)

Now the log from that day:

1805 *** Boeing E-3A Sentry 18 Sqn Saudi Arabian Air
Force
?? Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker United
States Air Force
?? Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker United
States Air Force
?? Boeing KC-135A Stratotanker United
