REQ Mildenhall 29/07

Post by ArabJazzie » Sun Jul 30, 2017 9:09 pm

Hello all,
I am wondering if some kind soul can help with the ids of what based stuff was sitting out at Mildenhall on Saturday around midday?

Looking specifically for the 2 MC-130J, the 2 RC-135s and the CV-22.

Did a 2 day blast down to see the carrier and did a drive by for the Greyhounds, but I didnt realize until i got home that i need some of the based stuff! All help is very much appreciated.
Arabest,
Geoff.

Geoff,

The two MC-130Js were 11-5731 and 13-5778. RC-135W 62-4138 and WC-135C 62-3582 (the "Constant Phoenix") were your "RC-135s".

I'm afraid that I no longer look at what based '135s and Ospreys are in evidence as I do not need any. Sorry about that.

Cheers,

Bob
