Morning all,

On Friday 18th July, around 17.10L I noted 3 x C-5s, 2 x C-17s on the west ramp along with a B747 and a number of C-130s on the east ramp. Two of the C-130s on the eastern ramp were facing south suggesting they were the Dyess machines as the RS machines tend to park facing east-west I think.

Was travelling at speed in a rush somewhere else and had no time to stop so a long shot but any help much appreciated.

Kind regards

Afternoon Eric,

Many thanks for quick response which does identify all I could be interested in. Did not see the third 17 but did not note that particular ramp. Nor did I pay attention to the C-27s ramp but can not see everything, can we?

Your reply much appreciated so thank you.

Kind regards
