I'd been looking for an excuse to go up for the needed Grissom KC-135R and couldn't have come up with a more perfect one (or two).

Excellent selection of visitors for a change.

Didn't bother going across as nothing had come in, so I came home.

All but 61-0315, 62-3582 and 63-7996 departed 23/08 am, starting with the "Bone" at 09.08BST (hell of a racket!!).
