Re: Movements 02/11/21

Don't forget that the KC-135s may well fly during the evenings, which could explain the long NOTAM.

Re: log mildenhall 24/10/21 1315-1430

Hi conyoy,

Would suggest that 58-0036 is a mispole and should be 58-0069.........58-0036 has been on rework at OC-ALC since 21/06/2021

62-4126 is a RC-135W......there are no OC-135s left in service, all being in AMARG.

Re: Bomber Task Force Dyess General Info

Don't forget to filter on the "Type" column for "AR".

It cuts the list down to just a few.

Re: Tues 28 September 2021

IIRC, the refuelling block for B-1s is something like FL180-FL220, so this will have nothing to do with the forthcoming deployment.

Unfortunately, John, the term "ICAO" is also used to indicate an aircraft's unique assigned Mode-S code, a representation of what is also known as the ICAO 24-bit address.

Three may have been handed over (= delivered in Boeing's eyes), but only the above 16059 reached a unit base in August.

I would hazard a guess that 12867 may have been 12667 - which was the 10ACCS trainer, I believe.

Re: Theodore Roosevelt

As noted by Thunder, it is the Ronald Reagan, previously in the Japan/South China Sea area when its C-2As were frequent visitors to Kadena late May and early June.

Its two Greyhounds are 162154/30 [AE0466] and 162176/21 [AE045E], both of Det.5/VRC-30 - both hexes confirmed (ADS-B against photos).
