Can someone confirm the serial for a KC-135 with no tailmarks parked near 80001 "Fairchild" and the Gulfstreams. Is this the 38045 seen on Ads-B this morning?

91459 has no tail marks, however as this is the current regular two weeks TDY aircraft, they normally park on the southside at the runway 11 end, so not where you describe but I have not been there since Saturday so cannot be sure whereabouts it is.

Yes, it was.

Yes, 59-1459 was parked southside at runway 11 end by late afternoon. It performed a mission during the day as NACHO82. Of the other visiting K35Rs I picked up on my box whilst at the fence at Lakenheath, 61-0288 departed as GOLD82 11h18L, 59-1510 departed 11h57 callsign not noted and 59-1486 arrived 12h05L as RCH547 and I have no departure log entry for it. From 09h09L onwards I didn't pick up 63-8045 so cannot vouch for that one although Bob has above, but I reckon 59-1486 would have been one of the two next to 58-00001

In return any offers for the two white-tailed 135s amongst the hangar complex southside? One did engine runs around 4.45pm and had tail markings I didn't recognise. The other was I think a TDY Offutt machine
