A boring day at RS with only three arriving C-17's (in addition to a few very annoying based aircraft) between 10:30 and 18:45! Serials for the USN Herc and the C-12 would probably save the day! They were not read due to an aggressive bunch of wasps at the Bismarck Turm, beware!

?? C-130T? USN (ramp) anyone?
?? C-12 (ramp) anyone?

Hi Paul,

We had the same experience lat Thursday, also due to the wasps at the Bismarck you cannot stay long there...I managed to killed some with my feet!

One correction to your overview, C-17A 89-0165 should be 99-0165...

Regards,

Wasps at the Bismarck ... Where, on top of the turm ?

Yes there seems to be a nest on the just below the edge of the tower. Very nasty MF'ers!
