The assigned KC-10A, "BLUE31", departed Mildenhall at 16.15Z......legging it home after wasting a week over here. LOL.
As and when they decide to send them across again, I will start another thread. |

Yes, it did, but its R/T callsign was "RCH106", so return is less likely.
Possibly it is going to help on returning A-10s???
Cheers,

Ah, missed the callsign as being a Reach, I did also think A10s could be involved in its redeployment though. Will have to see!
Cheers
