Just in case it’s helpful to anyone the WC is still all closed up as of 1130 this morning. Sampling probes have the covers on. The wait continues....

WC-135 is not at Mildenhall - it left earlier and is currently heading for the Baltic Sea.

The WC-135W that returned last night was the last Constant Phoenix in the USAF fleet before they get replaced sometime next year by the WC-135R. I was told (Credit to @aircraftoveroffutt on Instagram) that there's 3 KC-135R's due to be converted to WC-135R's. The WC-135C variant was retired last year.

Just some interesting info I read this morning :)
