RCH1007 (AC-130U 90-0163) arrived at Souda in the afternoon, did not the hear RCH1006 (AC-130U 89-0510), maybe it arrived later or went to Sig.
Indeed more eastbound traffic can be expected over the Med today or the next couple of days.: RCH1008 (AC-130U 87-0128), RCH1009 (AC-130U 89-1052), RCH1028 (EC-130J 97-1931)
USMC KC-130J "Axis71" at 06.54 on the 23rd should be(I think) Otis71.
No, it was indeed AXIS71, shows as KC-130J 165809 VMGR-252.
Not the first time I noticed 'AXIS' matching with a VMGR-252 KC-130J, from the archives:
May 15th: AXIS72, shows as KC-130J 168070 VMGR-252
May 30th: AXIS67 shows as KC-130J 168070 VMGR-252
