Confirmed!

Grtz,

R.

I was there on the last friday, the 15th. It was a good flying day for the Red Flag. Almost all units were flying. Only two USN F-18s went home early in the morning and the USAF E-3 went home direct after the mission. All other participants returned to base, including the KC-135s, Sentry and Voyager...

But they did not fly with the Red Flag mission that day, only with the Weapons School aircraft, the Draken aircraft and a lot A-10 aircraft (Close Air Support?).

Just a small remark on the big log (thanks for that). I wonder if the T-38s were flying for the Red Flag. I saw them flying last friday, hours before the Red Flag launch begin. So maybe they were there for another exercise ( Green Flag ???).

Grtz,

R.

and now RCH 550 is inbound for GK (should be 58-0122 according ADS-B)

So, now three KC-135Rs are at GK.

Expect NATO 40 at Spangdahlem today, after GKE it will come to Spangdahlem.

RCH 408 just departed back home [KC-135R 62-3513 ME ANG]

Expect a new one on monday.

Thanks for the info, Pieter.
I think that is correct because I saw on ADSB later this morning that the callsign for today was also PLF 114.

Grtz,

R.

It looks like a Polish M28 just departed Geilenkirchen.

Anyone for the callsign?

And when did it arrive?

grtz,

R.

possible candidates for the new tankers for Geilenkirchen:

58-0030 RCH 469 and 62-3516 as RCH 409, both over the UK now.

Looks like OLIVE76 wil depart this afternoon.

Grtz,

Anyone for the callsigns of these F-22s of today?

Thanks,

Finally the last IA tanker left Geilenkirchen this morning: RCH167 KC-135R 59-1506.

Grtz,

Both arriving tankers this morning (57-1419 and 58-0023) are from the NH ANG, with full tail markings.

Also leaving was KC-135R 59-1505 TN ANG as RCH270.
