REQ: Mildenhall Sun 7th October 18

[Rubberneck]

Hi

I have a request from a friend of mine that was a passenger in a vehicle passing by Mildenhall early evening on Sunday 7th. He didn't have binos so was unable to get any serials.

His request is for the serials of the 4 possibly 5 CV22s on the ramp, and the C130s that were present. He knows the KC10 was 83-0075 and is not really interested in the based KC135s (counted 10 possibly 11)

however if a full listing is available for what was present I'm sure it'll also help others

Guys,

I went by on Monday.
Has anything been flying since Sat to Late Mon
Therefore should I assume that what I saw on Mon is the same as Sat

Thanks in advance
Pete

Correct, Pete.

Thanks in advance

Hi Pete,

11-0061 is still current.

Not certain what the score is with 11-5733. It has been operating out of Eglin for a year and a half (apart from a few months in WR-ALC). Whether it is on loan or permanent is not known. Being at Eglin suggests that it might be doing some sort of testing.

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks again Bob
