Yes indeed, a very quiet afternoon. Between 13.30 and 16.30 only a take off from an Evergreen 747, a Mc Chord C-17, a C-37A and a C-40 could be observed. Together with the landing and departure of a civil Bizzjet!! Luckily there is a pool in the neighbourhood!

From the highway I noticed a Canadian Challenger (black c/s) taking off around 13.15. Can anyone help me on the serial??

[AMC]

The C-17A from 452ndAMW/AFRC was 05-5139 and was parked on spot 23. The C-17A from 3rdWg/PACAF was 98-0056 and parked on spot 15.
KC-135R HH is 57-1508 and parked on spot 11 backwards. CC-144 was 144616 and parked before depart on Ramp 3 spot 4.
Hope this helps!

I don't know the spots (is there a map available?), but I get the picture!
It sure does help a lot!

Many thanks and best regards,

Arjan
