I was prepared to put up with missing the Westover-based C-5M that diverted in a bit after I left on Friday. However, when I saw that "OLIVE56" was my last RC-135 and that it was going into the 'Hall, I decided that there was no way I was going to miss both of them. Two nights is better than one, of course.

Mildenhall Arrival 07.42BST "RCH526" 58-0052 KC-135R 336ARS/AFRC
Departures 08.48BST "RCH234" 60-0335 09.29BST "RCH043" 59-1517 10.10BST "RCH111" 59-1509
Bit of a surprise to make the KC-135R, which was a big gap filler. So, made 6 in less than 48 hours, when I was hoping for just the 2 on Monday. Cannot grumble!!
Departed at 11.05 and got back home at 14.50 (including a 20 min lunch break). Quite a good journey. |
