While taking a very quick look around on the 27th noted amongst the hangers were two RC-135's plus two visiting KC-135's one with a blue fin and one with a yellow fin. Impossible to read off due to the heat haze.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks Wayne..

Hi Wayne,

The RC-135s were RC-135V 62-4138/OF and RC-135U 64-14847/OF

The visiting KC-135s (by the tower) would have been 62-3543 (black/yellow check mid-tailband with small yellow "Andrews" in the middle) and 58-0015 (yellow "Tinker" on light blue mid-tailband). I take it that 57-1512 (another Andrews machine) was present on Hs 33 near John's Field.  62-3543 departed at 13.45.

Another log for 11.30 on that day shows the following based aircraft present:-

KC-135s - 57-1493, 57-2605, 58-0069, 58-0094, 58-0100, 58-0118 (hangared), 59-1471, 60-0324, 61-0299, 63-7999 and 63-8871

MC-130Js - 10-5714, 11-5731, 12-5757 (? due to heat haze) and 13-5778

CV-22Bs - 5 unreadable due heat haze.

Hope that this helps,

Bob

No CV-22s flew over the long weekend, so those reported out this morning at 08.00 should be the same:-

08-0050, 11-0058, 11-0061, 12-0063 and 12-0064
