RC135 expert? request please RC or TC135

Post by BP2324 » Fri Oct 16, 2009 7:37 pm

Hi,
need some help from the Mildenhall regulars please. Took the picture below over my Father in law's house on the 5 June 2006, as it was inbound to the Hall.

Now I need just a couple of airframes from the 55 Wg at Offutt at the Hall, I wonder if any one can id this? (big ask I know) From what I have found on the net I believe RC135W 62-14842 and TC135W 62-4127 arrived on the 31st May.

Any pointers to which airframe? (I need both so any help gets a big thumbs up :thumbs: )

dont think it's 127 as it's a training ship and it has'nt any aerials underneath ,best bet is to PM Bollo as he has been up there all year on my records 131 was over there on the 7th of june. hope this helps.

Thanks all- 842 it is. Too many bits and bobs for the TC-135
