A pair of Charleston C-17s and a C-5 are sat on the short runway, photos seem to be a near impossibility! KC-135 62-3580 RCH847 from Niagra Falls is on its way in soon.

TURK AF GLF 4. 91-003 due 1045

Thank you for the heads up, made it in the nick of time!

12-1063 to Royal Saudi AF - 5/18(via Lakenheath) was marked 2913 at the World Defence Show in early 2022. Thank you very much, Tony, I've just updated it. Who knows, maybe one day we'll confirm every single one, and then maybe try and work out the Qataris as well :lol: Then there's the challenge of...

Thanks for the responses regarding the Saudi arrivals, unfortunately though, as per the heads up movements, the tankers are expected into Marseille. Oh well! On another note, it may be a slightly longer shot but if anything happens to photograph the data blocks on the F-15s, I'd appreciate please kn...

Apologies for potentially posting in the wrong thread, but I can't find a better one to post to! With the Saudi F-15s arriving on Monday, presumably they'll require tanker support from Saudi A330s. Assuming they are using the A330s, would anyone please happen to know (and be able to share) if they a...

Any I.D's for the Canadian C-130?

No Canadian C-130 landed at Brize today, at least not whilst I was there!

It has a crest on the front section on the right side (I couldn't read it last night but I think it's an Eighth Air Force crest), it also had Lucky Lady IV nose art and 8AF/Mighty Eighth on the tail.

I'm hoping there is a chance we might get tail number 029 with the special test and evaluation scheme from Barksdale. 61-0028 (not 029) belongs to the 49th TES and is "OT" coded rather than "LA" or "BD", so the chances of it deploying are effectively zero. Which is a HUGE shame because it looks abs...

Updated to include 12-1076 which appeared at RIAT this year with Saudi serial 641.

RCAF CC-330 Husky 330003 CANFORCE3443 due in from Trenton at 19:50 tonight.

I believe it diverted back to Sigonella after a lot of circuits over Estonia

It's currently still airborne over Estonia. All being well it should be into Fairford between 21:30 and 00:30 tonight straight off the back of its mission.

is this the start of a baseing or just testing for the future RQ180 ?

It looks as if it's for testing purposes. The new hangars don't look ready quite yet!
