Ground crew probably already in if they’re due within next 2 weeks

[Ollie]

Maybe unrelated but I somehow doubt it. C-5 going from Kelly Field to Dyess, 86-0018 RCH450. ETD Kelly 17:00. With credit to acars.adsbexchange.com

[Euangray12]

Getting word the C5 is due tomorrow

[exatco]

RCH 450 descending northbound just south of Abilene. (Dyess). ADSB 1840 UK local time. EDIT...ADSB shows C5M 86-0018 (AE056F) on finals Dyess 1848 UK local time.

If both CMB flight and the C5 are due into Fairford within the next 48 hrs, could that indicate the Bones could be here before the start of next week, possibly over the weekend?

[DILLIGAF1]

Any news on either possible arrivals?

[Skywatcher]

Nothing arrived yet today ,probably looking more like tomorrow morning now
747 due tomorrow 07:45Z (08:45LT)
It will likely be early morning when it does arrive as I rember last time it brought in the spare B-1B engines at 05:30 I think back in 2021
Based on previous tdys I think we need to see least some pax (767 ers Omni Air usually ) C-17 (depending how much the Gally brings ) and maybe one more 747

[DILLIGAF1]

Thanks Skywatcher for the info. Will try and catch the C5 if possible.

[Uncle Sam]

And judging by flight duration and scheduled arrival time, I’d guess the departure time is local

[Uncle Sam]

2107z departure scheduled from Dyess. Originally the plan was for 1740z - according to sources.
