Mildenhall Based Aircraft Current Situation

[Starbuck]

With 63-7999 now retired, has anything replaced it in the based fleet?

Martin

I remember seeing a new based one back when the Alaskas were on TDY at the Hall, it still had some old AMC markings but I'm pretty sure it was for the 100th.

With 63-7999 now retired, has anything replaced it in the based fleet?

Martin

Replacement is en route from Fairchild as QID33 (59-1511)

Also expected at some point is another as QID43

[Mike]

Does anyone have an up to date listing of the based CV-22B's please?

Many thanks.

Is it still the case that 08-0050 and 10-0057 are the only ones in a single-tone all over dark grey scheme? (Two of the six visible outside today were in this scheme but I couldn't read them off)?

[Orville]

Been putting together an up-to-date list of based aircraft from my recent visits. I think this is how it stands but happy to be corrected.

10-3077 C146A is now also based under the 67th Special Operations Squadron

[F4JPhantomII]

https://www.dvidshub.net/news/486692/ar ... -wolfhound

U.S. and British officials agreed to activate a C-146A unit at RAF Mildenhall in March of this year to increase U.S. European Command’s special operations capability within Europe. Forward basing the Wolfhound at RAF Mildenhall will speed up response time for a variety of missions and provide increased security, disaster response and emergency airlift capability across Europe. Before agreeing to station the aircraft in the United Kingdom, U.S. officials conducted an extensive environmental impact analysis and shared their results with the U.K. Ministry of Defense.

[F4JPhantomII]

Don’t know if this has been reported elsewhere, but I noticed today that 59-1470 has a Tudor Crown on the tail. Out of the other tankers I saw from Folly, 60-0324, 61-0315 and 63-8008 still have a St. Edward’s Crown; 60-0353 currently doesn’t have any 100th ARW markings.
