Altus AFB, OK (KLTS/LTS) - 2011 MIL

Post by Oscar01 »

Hi,

Passed by on 29 and 30. Very open field with lots of planes. C-17s are very easy. For the KC-135s you need a 60x and no heat haze or strong winds (like today). Airfield guide from scramble is still up to date, though in one of the dirt tracks was quite an amount of water, so I couldn't drive to the fence. If you drive to the main gate, you first have a police station on the left and then a cemetry. From the entrance of this cemetry you can see the preserved C-141 and KC-135A.

C-17s, all Altus
94-0066

Thanks for the log!
Regarding the preserved aircraft 52043, it is a B-47E which should be marked 520413.
