Same bird. They are right now on the Open Skies Mission, that's why using a different callsign from the "ferryflight" one. Guess they will be at ETNG again later this week!
Acft. SF34 Swedish AF Reg/100001
RCH256 is KC-135R 58-0015 from 465 ARS/ 507 ARW/ AFRC at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma.
Also arriving was RCH929 at 9.11L. This one was 58-0102 from the same unit. So no New Hampshire tankers as planned. Both tankers have special nose markings.
Leaving this afternoon at 14.55L as RCH310 was the Alabama tanker 58-0106, which had some problems on its flight of last thursday (''smoke in the cockpit''). After engine test this morning it could finally depart this afternoon.
