18th feb,
Anyone have Interplane, AR Boom,
and tail reg for the Spanish typhoon who have landed here, they will fly onward to Nellis to play in red flag 2017.

10 Spanish Typhoons + 2 Italian KC767 arrived today at Lajes.
Also supporters like CN235, C130 and P3 arrived as well

I saw online posts of only 5 typhoon arrived,

yh and there is still no proof without tails given,
and he also pointed out only 5 on his own post within an aviation forum, can he not decide?

[rh226]

Can I suggest that possibly each tanker brought 5 aircraft with it and that GolfLima has only reported the serials of one tanker's trail?

Also, he does not usually post serials on his Twitter blog.


Now, let's leave it at that - and let GolfLima provide further information if he so wishes.

My question is where are the KC-130 Tankers that are reportedly participating in Red Flag?

Guys, if Thunderbolt says that 10 Typhoons arrived then 10 arrived. He does live on Lajes after all and will post the serials in a day or two like he always does so what's the problem! Moreover, the KC-130s might not go via Lajes although I think they departed this morning.
Keep an eye on the Spotting USA pages for a Nellis log as I'm sure all will be revealed on there soon enough.
Regards

Too solve your confusion Militaryspotter7, yesterday I tweeted that 6x AME typhoons were due today not 5 like you said. But it looks like 10 arrived.

And regarding the serials, since I'm not in the Island at this time, you will have to wait until Thunderbolt post's them
