F-16's & KC-10 leaving Bangor , Maine

Post by JAWS » Sun Mar 06, 2011 4:24 pm

I'm about a mile from Bangor Airport and I just had 6 - 8 F-16's ( couldn't see them all through the low cloud ) take off in quick succession followed by a KC-10 , not sure what unit or where they are heading but may be heading Europe direction although may be a training flight. Anyone hear of anything or any ideas ? Also seen a couple of US Navy SH-60's flying in and out of the Airport.

Just had another 4-5 F-16's take off again followed by a KC-10 ( this one from Travis ) , I believe that the F-16's may be Dutch , after looking at the crappy shot's I got. Are these heading back over the pond or going elsewhere in the State's ?
