Recently arrived C-17A 77178 (RCH29) 436AW "Dover" (can't trust these arrivals boards) and E-4 31677 (c/s EDGE77?) just arrved from Cairo (also south of Finland)!

In from that cold country south of Finland?

Sounds like US Secterary of Defense Robert Gates will be in town.

The E-4B should be calling Edge 21.

Arriving yesterday was "new" Boeing 707-300C "295" in the sexy new dark* scheme.

It is almost certainly the former B707-366C SU-AXJ (cn 20919/888) / N707KN. It has (so far) no boom nor were wing pod refuelling tanks fitted - it might even be the a/c I couldn't identify at SAT in January, and it's last visit to LLBG was probably Nov '95!

(* sorry, colour blind, either grey or green, certainly sexy)
