Two different UH-60's made approaches to the field.

84-0111 C-21A dep 15:01, or poss misread for 110.

Parked In front of the hangar closest to the large C-130 platform at least 2 AH-64s were visible. Possibly a 3rd was partly blocked by vehicles.

Hmmmm it's difficult to say which Apaches you saw. 8 Apaches arrived today and at least 4 others were loaded in AMC a/c.

Arrived this evening was a SAC C-17 the 03 as Bartok09 and a C-5A 69-0016 as Reach787

Cheers,
Eric

According to Boneyard on flugzeugforum there were two different KC-135;s 63-8008 (100th ARW) and 58-0073 (AL ANG).
The Mildenhall KC-135 arrived around 1700lt, my guess is that 58-0073 is your missing KC-135...

Are you sure about the Wing? When this Galaxy landed one day earlier, I noted it (99% sure, 1% human factor ...) as 167thAW read on the nose when landing and with a red tail colour while NY ANG Galaxies have blue tail colours?

[AMC]

Richard the C-5A 69-0012 had only two black stripes in the tail with ANG above it and 105thAW on the nose and also a nose art. 70-0452 had a red stripe and 167thAW on the nose.

69-0012 C-5A 105AW NY ANG unmarked in the tail, only two black stripes and ANG title. But 105thAW on the nose and a nose art!

@ AMC: The KC-135 departed around 14:40/14:45. According to an SBS log the 80073 was recorded climbing out in the RS area around that time. Were you there in the afternoon? Any clues to the Blackhawks? They were flying from and to Landstuhl.
