8:20l: 10 F-16 with centerline tank dep.
According to FB photos from a friend, they went to the virgin track to refuel on a KC-135 from Mildenhall.
At 8:20l I saw only one AC-130U on the ramp. I was not able to read the number.
According to SBS:
Takeoff for Misson 1: 89-0511 ANDRO21 AC-130U USAF 2014-09-11 11:04:16z
Takeoff for Mission 2: 89-0511 ANDRO22 AC-130U 2014-09-11 17:06:25z
AC-130 Photos from the dep: http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=108973
On all the other days of the week, the a/c changed - but not on thursday.
So the question: Where was / is 90-0167?

Hi J,
The ramp where they were parked was the hot-cargo. Could be that this one wasn't hot anymore and parked either on amc ramp or the ramp in front of the tower?

I saw only one MC-130J and one AC-130U. Are you sure about two?
Strange that only one was flying yesterday...
