Most of the time at Mildenhall (though not always) there is a '135 from one of the AFRC or AMC wings that is on TDY. They usually stay for about a fortnight and frequently fly with the callsign ' Nacho 71'. I think the idea is to support the 100th ARW with some of their AAR commitments but that said, the previous Nacho aircraft from Niagara Falls barely flew the whole time it was here!
