Seen a military aircraft recently but NOT at one of the bases or airfields listed below? Maybe it flew over the top of you today? Need to tie up the serial? Ask in here. Requests less than 6 months old only please.

At 1915 BST, I was lucky enough to see at least 7x (possibly 8x) F-15 line up on runway 24 with the first taking-off ten minutes later.

They lined up in this order (though I can't be sure the order they lined up was the order they took off in):

91-0324 F-15E LN (red and white fin top stripe)
01-2001 F-15E LN (red and white fin top stripe)
91-0334 F-15E LN (no red and white fin top stripe)
91-0329 F-15E LN (red and white fin top stripe)
00-3002 F-15E LN (red and white fin top stripe)

Then another 2 or 3, possibly one had a multi-coloured fin top stripe, possibly one was a single seater F-15C (but fixed formation unlikely?).

Can anyone help identify the last 2 or 3 please?

From viewtopic.php?f=8&t=181228, I'm thinking the KC-135 I could see in the Mildenhall circuit at 1915 BST was QUID34 and the F-15E were RATCH flight?
