Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the C-5B is 87-0037 which arrived as RCH 684 from Mildenhall? I was told that 87-0037 was due out to Ramstein from the hall on the 20th

[Daniel Ravenswaay]

Ben, the serial should be correct. According to two other Dutch spotters there was another C-5 present which was hangared. Was not seen by us though.

[BenLuck]

Ah that makes sense as the C-5 at the hall had a maintaince issue. So it must be being repaired at Ramstein in the hangar then.
