Afternoon all,

I was fortunate enough to join the 100ARW back in May and jumped on-board our trusty steed nicknamed 'NightMare' :Oops: I soon found out why after a few technical snags!!!

1.KC135 100ARW 63-8008

Once a few switches were replaced in the flight deck and at maximum weight for the wet runway at Mildenhall, we departed for Scandanavia.

Once on task, and making up a little time enroute, we were straight into action with our first trade.

3. FINISH AIR FORCE F18C's FROM 11 SQUADRON, ROVENIEMI "BISON FLT"

With a little bit of help, we managed to get a few minutes of 'play time'.....
