Another AFRC day at the Hall 1-11-11 in the sun!

[stigorige]

More KCs I'm afraid but the conditions were better, plus a couple of variations in type as well...
Not AFRC but the first arrival.

Also not AFRC but OHIO ANGs are nice too.





Next up something a bit bigger!





The first reserve bird a Tinker.

Noseart "So help me God".







Then the light improved so I shot this on the ramp.

Next up a regular Air Force KC, soon to be an RAF RC135! Great light on this one...





Back to the reserve a March bird.





Then another Tinker, I think. No markings except noseart, turned off at Delta unfortunately.





Tinker no 3.

More noseart.



Something unusual at the Hall these days a queue to land!

First 165832 C40 USN.





Then, yes another Tinker!



Strato Gas JP8...





As the sun falls, the SOG rises. Talon71 70024.

Great work Stig. Some lovely light in there.

Any idea why there is such an increase in traffic these last couple of weeks? Hopefully some of these stay until Friday as I hope to pop down.

Regards

Aaron

The traffic is due to units changing over at TDY locations further East. The KCs that arrive one day tend to leave the next, so I'm afraid it is unlikely that any of the ones present on Tuesday will be left.
Might be some others though, who knows!
Cheers, Stig.
