Nachos anyone? KC-10s still there?

[Frank]

Hi all

For the overview page: can someone confirm that the three Nachos, the KC-10s, will remain at ETAD for a while?

Thanks!

They are at least still present, Frank. I am looking at them as we speak.

Spangdahlem 9:00

Thanks Robbert! Very interested in their mission times as well

[R.Snijders]

No missions so far (yesterday and today). Just sitting on the tarmac.

One was active on ADS-B early this morning. Just transmitting while on the ramp. Later on it was off again.

Thanks Trabanti. Just out of curiosity: why does Arizona have a lot of BUFF? Barksdale is Louisiana and Minot in North Dakota. Or am i missing the joke:)

One of the KC-10’s just departed as Nacho130 according to das-b. Seems to be the first Nacho mission from Spangdahlem

[Trabanti]

Don't worry Frank, my wife has the same issue, so it's probably me, not you.

The boneyard is in Arizona. Last time I was there (a while ago, true) lots of BUFFs..

See you at SP one of these days?

[Frank]

Ahhhh. Dead BUFFs. Doesnt count!

Going to Spang tomorrow, but only for the late take-offs!
