GOLD 91 heading to KMKE.

Rch-356 C-17 09-9210 pressed onto Spain overnite from Bangor. Prob next stop for the 115th FW.
ROMA-81,91 KC-46's overnite inbound Germany it seems.

RCH 455 63-8003 and RCH-456 60-0366 McGuire to Germany overnight.
A report a couple of the B-1's at Fairford will go to Germany today.. Maybe work for the McGuire KC-135's?

 

[Mark]

No UK airfield with a name like that.... also "xxxx field" is not a method of naming that is used here

McGuire updated their Space A board.. It is destination Prestwick UK.. Thats more like it

Also show two flights to Rota late Monday night..

ROMA 81 destination given as Spangdahlem with discussion of weather alternatives if visibility didn't improve.
91 folowing it. Probably to drag the based F16s to Israel for Blue Flag (UK eurofarces for the ex. were dragged that way yesterday)

Two bones departed Fairford as STORK 1/2 this morning, through Daventry corridor and North East over the sea.
Fairford Tower 246.350 > Brize RADAR 231.975 > Swanwick Mil 252.875 > Swanwick Mil ?

Scott in WI just passed to me that the 115th FW is preparing to depart KMSN soon (0330Z at the moment). Picked up clearance to Morón AB.

Update: sounds like TABOR 31/41. First cell will depart 0410Z, second at 0440Z. Tankers should be GOLD 81/91. 31 flight is currently up on their tac 363.350.

At 0400Z, hearing GOLD 91 picking up clearance KMKE > KPSM. Assuming similar for 81.

 

[jsoergel]

TABOR 31 (x6) joining with GOLD 81 (58-0112) on boom freq 378.200, tac 363.350.
