Missing Kc-135 Dates from 1981/2
Hello all I know its a long shot but here goes I have the dates for over 700 KC-135 that I have seen except for 3 aarrgghh.They are 55-3139 92bw,57-1472 336ARS,58-0032 108ARS. I would almost of certainly seen these at Mildenhall or Fairford in 1981 or 1982 does anyone have the dates that they saw any of these tankers during that time so I could then check these against the many dates I have for being at the hall and finally tie up all my tankers. Any help would be very much appreciated.
kind Regards Red

Hi
I have
53139 at Mildenhall 28/1/1979 nearly 35 years ago
71472 at Mildenhall 18/9/1977
80032 still need this one if its still active, or may have to go to my local hard ware shop for it.

Hi Martin,
Dates that I have got in the relevant time period are:
53139 - 06/03/1982 at Fairford (92BW).
71472 - made this back in 1979 and did not see it afterwards - somehow I kept missing the 336ARS "summer school" (probably because I had seen them all by then).
80032 - 10/07/1982 at Mildenhall - Note that it was with 116ARS/WA. ANG at this time.
Hope that this can give you dates near enough to your visits.
All the best,
Bob

Saw KC-135A 71472 during its deployment to Fairford 14 Jan - 24 Feb'82.(It had arrived in the UK at Mildenhall on 13Jan). This was assigned to the 22nd Air Ref Sqdn, 22BW at March.
`BAR` reported KC-135A 80032 as visiting Mildenhall on 23 Apr'81 and 6 Jul'82. On both occasions it was noted as Washington ANG (116 Air Ref Sqdn).
hope this helps,
cheers,
Graham
