On a drive through of Portsmouth Pease on 1st Oct, 11 x KC-46 were seen (unidentified).
12 are based.
Couldn’t identify from FR24 that any of the based machines were ‘away’ at the time.
As it’s their main base, assuming the ANG section of PSM has appropriate hangar space, where the 12th might have been hiding?

Just as likely that one of them was away somewhere doing tankering, but IIRC yes, they have 4 large hangars and at least 2 of them I think would be large enough to get all of a KC-46 in.

But - why couldn't you read them off? They're all usually parked side on and easily visible from McIntyre Road here : 43.085901076555785, -70.8357409089217 . Heat haze would have to be really bad to stop you reading them from there.

Cheers Malcolm.
It was an un-scheduled drive through on a drive further north. Family in tow, needing to get to destination etc, limited time for a drive around the full airfield.
I was on the eastern side, couldn’t see a side on view of the ANG ramp from the eastern side.
Useful to know about views from McIntyre Road. In case I’m ever out that way again will head over that side for a decent view.
