4 C-17s came into Fairford before the B-52 Ex presumably delivering equipment, only 2 C-17s have been in after the Ex to take that equipment home. So it would make sense that this C-5 is taking the last of it out, but that's just a guess.
Could be a shrewd deduction Sam - plenty of room in 101 ? Loadmaster named 'Skinner'. ;)
Think one of those C-17's, 66168 RCH214 went out empty - it didn't go West, it went East to Ramstein.

Maybe the C5 was delivering?
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Do we know, are the U2s passing through Fairford or deployed there and if so for how long?
