All

For the overview on https://www.scramble.nl/community/messa ... /72/162988 I would like to provide a status of the temporarily based KC-135s at ETAD as well. This is what I have now:

58-0035 KC-135R 92nd/141st ARW/no markings arrived when?
58-0103 KC-135T 92nd/141st ARW/no markings arrived when?
61-0267 KC-135R 92nd/141st ARW/no markings. left when?
62-3519 KC-135R 22nd ARW "McConnell" left? when ?
59-1508 KC-135R 92nd ARW Arrived when?
63-8018 KC-135R 173rd ARS Arrived 9/5

Could you please share some data on when they arrived, if they left and if so when ?

Thanks!

I have no inputs except the log posted from Sunday.
But I do want to thank you for the work you put in this Frank!

[Frank]

Ok no problem. And you are welcome, i like doing this!

Thx for the heads up, I wasn’t aware additional tankers arrived.

Please find below their arrival dates, all 6 should still be at ETAD (ads-b data):

58-0035 arr 9-3
58-0103 arr 9-3
61-0267 arr 9-3
62-3519 arr 9-3
63-8018 arr 29-4
59-1508 arr 6-5

[Frank]

Thanks JPS!

63-8018 arr 29-4 I also heard 6th of May. So if we could clear that up, that would be great

[hvaneupen]

Both dates are correct. In between it stayed in Poland I believe.

Thanks JPS!

63-8018 arr 29-4 I also heard 6th of May. So if we could clear that up, that would be great

According to ads-b data for sure 29-4 with first mission from ETAD on 3-5. It left ETAD on 5-3 to Letiste Prague and after a local missions on the 8th returned on the 9th to ETAD.

Good initiative Frank! Not sure if you want to include it, but for me personally it's interesting which ones are MPRS-equipped. As these accompany the Growlers.. I know at least 80035 is.

Cheers, Bart

610267 left this afternoon, May 10th as RCH585

[Frank]

58-0103 seems to have left as well. So now there are four tankers again. See overview.

[hvaneupen]

I think this should be:

59-1508 KC-135R 92nd ARW. Arrived 6-5-22
63-8018 KC-135R 173rd ARS. Arrived 29-4-2022 (shortly left and returned 9-5-22)

58-0103 recovered at Incirlik but could return to Spang later.

58-0103 recovered at Incirlik but could return to Spang later.

58-0035 went as well to Turkey today, both with LAGR callsign so expect them to return at some point.

Left with Lager callsign today on the 10th around 1430lt. So should indeed return then...

It should be noted that the non MPRS tankers are sometimes flying with BDA (Boom Drogue Adapters), so it is likely but not a given combination with the Growlers.
