Cheers,

No probs! Just wanted to make sure you saw any extra info

As of 13:30 14 AV F-16 arrived at Mildenhall parked near the tower

10:07 Buzzard 41-43
88-0516 510FS ** Spare RTB Aviano
87-0350 555FS
87-0351 555FS partial fin colour

10:38 Buzzard 51-53
89-2102 have glass, no colours
90-0772 555FS ** Spare RTB Aviano
89-2016 555FS purple and green luggage pod

10:52 Buzzard 61-63
89-2018 510FS
90-0800 F-16D 555FS
89-2038 510FS

11:10 Buzzard 71-73
89-2049 510FS
88-0460 555FS
89-2096 no colours

13:16 Buzzard 81-82
88-0491 510FS
89-2011 510FS

ATC were told by Buzzard 81 that Buzzard 91-92 might try on Wednesday ** 87-0355 did arrive as Buzzard 91 but was only a spare

It is Tuesday

Oh yes , they simply said tomorrow wish I had too

If two more do come then they might include a special '510FS' machine

no worries, only pulling ya leg

From Pollard's lane you can see all 14 F-16 , one on the far right is a bit low on the horizon

Made 1 - 87-0351 - which has been to Fairford in Oct 2006! I went on 5-10-2006 and didn't see it

Well pleased

Someone (ravedave) emailed me via FC as to which is the last F-16 on the right

I cant reply via email

But the last two to land were
88-0491 510FS
89-2011 510FS

So if they are parked in landing order , you should be able to tell from the log in the Mildenhall section, you should be able to work out the last one. Actually just realized if there is only one you could not read then it should be obvious which one it is from the above.
Cheers

Hex codes for the lead/nominated F-16 in each group were as follows;

AE4A96 BUZZRD41
AE26DA BUZZRD51
AE26D6 BUZZRD61
AE24CD BUZZRD71
AE26D3 BUZZRD81

Cheers
MPH

Any ideas on departure time/day?

Reportedly tomorrow, once you have 5 posts (you're on 3) you'll be able to see the Heads Up & OTT section, where the tankers are also being reported.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. Yes I did try to look there first but obviously then saw the requirements. Thanks again.
