They were visible from the blue Spot 5/Red Spot 6 (https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mi ... 70458&z=17) but reading the serials is hard on that spot due to the distance.

C-17s and KC-135s on ramp 5 (the big AMC ramp) and the Hawk on ramp 1 which is in front of the two big hangars next to the former A-10 shelter area.

Interesting, will have to remember that spot! (KC-135s I usually identify from spot https://goo.gl/maps/jJnVaoA9X2J2 quite successfully)
