Also arrived in the evening was C-12C 76-0163 which depart to Greece on 09.09.

Jeroen you missed an C-17A 00-0185 on Ramp 8! The two Dyess C-130J had both full colour stripes in their tail!
I can also confirm KC-10A which depart at 12:50 was 83-0082 305thAMW.

Are you sure? I could only see 2 birds of 437th from the Bismarck. From the landing of rw09 one could only be seen. Not that I need the 0185!

I´m 1000% sure! 07-7188, 00-0185 and 02-1099 were parked yesterday on Ramp 8.
I know from the RWY 26 end you can see only 02-1099 and from RWY 09 end there was only 02-1099 spot 4 and 00-0185 spot 3
visible. Behind the trees was 07-7188.

Mmm. I have to check more carefully next time. Thanks for clearing up. I mostly start at Bismarck which allows me to read almost all a/c. The only issues can be a/c parked at ramp 3 and 4. I also has issues to discover the two visiting C-130J's as both were hardly vissible from Bismarck where both were blocked by the tower/trees. The text "AMC" on one of the tails made me check in more detail and convinced me of checking the a/c from the corner of the platform.

Jeroen,

Both were clearly visable this morning from the east end. I've never seen ramp 2 this empty with only
the 2 Dyess on it
