What happened to all the Snoops?

[quid21]

Mildenhall seems a bit quiet on the RC-135 front, I understand they have been moved from Offut AFB to Lincoln AFB so that the runway can be repaired/re-done, but the regular stopovers at Mildenhall seemed to have dried up.

RC-135W 62-4138 arrived at RAFM late last week and as far as I know, it is still present.

Thanks, must've missed that one

It seems to be as a result of both the RAF getting their own Rivet Joints and the U-2s operating regular missions out of Fairford now. The RC-135s have been very active down at Souda Bay too, no doubt in response to the goings on in Eastern Europe and I believe due to Covid restrictions anything heading to or from Offutt has been tanked by the 100th ARW to save an overnight stay

Thanks, so I wasn't imagining it, there's been a reduction in Mildenhall stop-overs and it would make a lot of sense, thanks for your insight

I have to say your original post has certainly had the desired effect!! 3 white tops on base today with another expected tomorrow morning (many thanks to Squawk1177 for the heads up).

[Pune]

HOOVR43 OTT Manchester at the moment..

[PSYCHO]

'667 should be up Monday 0500/1900z

Usual AOG disclaimers apply

[Ollie]

Well, looks like a 4th white top is heading in now, in the form of RC-135U 64-14849

[Ian1963]

Yep 4th one cobra 55 landed today. So 4 lovely whites on the ground.

[PSYCHO]

'667 up Monday early til late (subject to mx issues of course)

[James Cutting]

Would this be similar time to recent earlies?

[LN Strike Eagle]

Anyone able to advise roughly what time the WC-135 has been returning from ops in recent weeks?
