Re: RAF Fairford (EGVA)

MYTEE91 was 61-0018/--.........no fin code or fin stripe. Thought to be from 23rd BS/5th BW (ex 2nd BW).

It is night-stopping.

Cheers,

Re: Stuttgart Echterdingen (EDDS/STR) 2017 MIL

Today should see the following U-28A arrive (FighterControl reports them already on their way from Souda Bay):-

RCH1000 08-0835
RCH1020 08-0700

RCH1002 08-0718 should be with them, too.

These will join 01-0415 (RCH1022) and HC-130N 93-2105 already at Stuttgart.

Re: Vienna (LOWW) Mil

Sadly, ADS-B is incorrect.

This is actually China Airlines A359 B-18912 hex 899160, which was delivered on 30 November 2017.

Re: The 'black' USAF C-32Bs

RCH585/98-6006 crossed the Atlantic this morning and did a gas & go at Mildenhall before going on to Lisbon (destination per FighterControl).

Photo showed it as having 12 windows and a small scuff plate, so N610G.

Re: The 'black' USAF C-32Bs

Very interesting. Regarding the possible 5th airframe in the equation - N144DC - I have looked at some pictures of its earlier identities (Eastern A/L's N501EA and NASA's N557NA) and they show it having the large wrap-around scuff plate. Which would mean that there is only one of the five airframes ...

Re: The 'black' USAF C-32Bs

It was reported on FighterControl that the TransAtlantic flight of MALT72 00-9001 last night originated from KHRT Hurlburt Field, not Eglin AFB.

This information would have been obtained from Inmarsat.
