Just popped in tonight but I only had binos so couldn't read much off.

3 of the A10s are near the tower and only one other appeared easily visible next to the hangar.

There were quite a lot of other visitors in so any help with the following would be appreciated

2 x C17 (Charleston and Stewart)
2 x C130
2 x KC135 (one was a Wisconsin) plus 23580 First in Flight was over the south side.
1 x RC135 also south side

1 further KC135 went in about 6.55
There was also a white biz jet type.

Sorry for the vague log but hope this helps.

Regards
Andrew

Hope this helps you:-

C-17
98-0057 was the Stewart and Charleston yellow band was 10-0213

C-130
89-1185 ANG yellow band and 91-1235 Kentucky ANG (this was south side earlier on engine runs)

KC-135 north side
61-0298 was your WI ANG wth 62-3521 Grissom red band

RC-135V was 64-15842

Your bizjet was N86 CL601 of the FAA

Asfar as the A-10s are concerned, I only had a camera and can only see 5. There were 2 "behind" the Ospreys (from the 11 end). Will have to try again tomorrow hopefully (if they go that is!)

Hi

Would some kind soul please help to identify the three A10s in a line that were clearly visible from John's field (Saturday evening)...

I did manage to see a fourth A10 (with the canopy up) parked separately from the others at what appeared to be around stand 43. Was that 81-0991 which arrived on Friday?

Try as I might, I could not see more than four!

Thanks,
Steve

Stainless the other 2 are parked further to the left of the A10 with the canopy up. If you drive round to the SOG ramp and look across to the main hangar you can just about see the other 2. Sorry but I didn't read off any serials. I simply counted off the 6.

Thanks for the reply Robert.
In case you other folks think I'm just being lazy... I didn't have a 'scope or long lens with me (dropped by Mildenhall on the off-chance on the way back from a walk).
Looked at the ramp from several different vantage points - but Mrs Stainless was starting to get a bit restless... so had to head for home.
Surely someone must have logged the three A10s 'out in the open' - or taken a photo or two (?).
Thanks in advance.
