Three CV-22s just departing Mildenhall. First one gave Leuchars as its destination so guess all going there.

The three that got delivered today were ZM715, ZM717 and ZM718.

For Sale. Used Canon EF100-400 F4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens. £1200. Not a mark on it apart from a couple of light scratches on the lens hood. Reason for selling is that I have gone mirrorless and the fit on mirrorless is different. I know an adapter is available but I prefer not to go that way. Good use...

KC-46 46058 is believed to be FY21. That's why it is marked as 16058. Four aircraft (46057 to 46060) are believed to be FY21. From 46061 onwards they are FY19. Its all to do with funding.

It arrived on the 24th September as "RCH744" for the 100thARW. It just hasn't been marked up yet. It sometimes takes months for them to do it.

10-0053 is still present. It was in the small static display they had on the south side on the 13th

All 10 USMC F35s have flown this morning.

The VH60s are both outside parked in front of the hangar near the CH47s at 1200

ZM151 now coded 017 on the nose and the top of the tail. ZM148 flew in the morning with new code 014 applied in the same places. It also had a new lightning flash applied to the tail.

Mark. I think you had better wash your mouth out with soap. The reason that the B52 has not departed is that KC-10 86-0030 (Roma 21) is going to refuel it. I would guess that it might depart on an air test (as it has had 4 engines off) with enough fuel to recover but if all goes OK it will refuel fr...

Slightly off topic but it is actually an OC-135B. It is shown as such on the data block.

Try these for size. 91-0392, 91-0413, 91-0479, 92-3880, 92-3881, 92-3888, 92-3896 92-3898. They should be confirmed on the checklist at the weekend.

83-0018 arrived on 31.7.2001 as "Retro 73". It was completely unmarked and arrived with three based F-15s returning from PDM.

168070 was using 0tis 71 as its callsign..

Preserved F-15A 74-0131 carries 86-180/LN on the starboard side and 86-169/LN on the port side to represent the 2 aircraft lost on 26.3.2001.

I made a typing error with one of the codes VW-10 should be VW-00. I've corrected it in the original post.
