ZZ418 delivered 1635L today. Light was a bit iffy when she arrived, not ideal for photography unfortunately. Believe it's been hangared for the night as at 1830 it wasn't where we saw it park up after landing.

Also RDAF F-16s E-600, E-603 arrived yesterday & nightstopped & ET-197 arrived this morning. E-600 is currently u/s, the other two departed today.

22/9
KC135T 580084 nightstopped, departed 1600L 23/9 - beautiful nose art
