BLUE52 (KC-135R 58-0009 128 ARW) in formation with BLUE84 (KC-135R 57-1453 1167 ARW). BLUE52 also to Souda.
BLUE84 in formation with HAVOC11 (didn't catch aircrafttype unfortunately). HAVOC11 in contact with Athens, FL330, 45M NW of METRU (dir Cairo FIR, eastbound)
Thanks for the confirmation on a/c type, Oz.Oscar01 wrote:Hi,
Blues took off from Souda Bay at 05.00z. After AR with Havoc11, they landed at Souda again. However, they are due to depart again at 15.30z to refuel Havok11 on his way back home.
Think Quids will launch tonight as well (last night they were 83/84).
Long mission for the Barksdale guys....

Ps: Havoc11 is a B-52
Read somewhere that it flew direct the Maledives? (perhaps lunchstop at Diego Garcia..?) Indeed a long mission out of Lousiana...Oscar01 wrote:Hi,
Tankers from EGUN were Quid85 and 86. In the US again, AR was conducted, this time by 2 times Ethyl. If I counted right, that were 14(!) tankers in total for just one Buff mission
Buff should be on the ground at Barksdale by now. Long mission for these guys......
