Re: Strange callsign
SBS / BSR
I think the callsign was not that strange at all.
QID sounds like TIT / seven sounds like zero / four sounds like four
At that time QID74 RTB Mildenhall ( based KC135R 64-14830 (Code AE07C5))

Be advised that QID is in fact QUID....jheijna wrote:SBS / BSR

Re: Strange callsign

The link between the female pilot and 'tit' sounds too obvious.....jp 74 wrote:Sorry i've also heard the female pilot on quid74.

Re: Strange callsign
It isn't for the Feb 7th, however your log is from the 6th. No TOTO's flew out of Mildenhall that day based on several (mode-s) logs.jp 74 wrote:Check this topic!

Guess it is not that strange.
Also you are mentioning 4 in your log, TOTO's of yesterday were 31-33.
Have heard TRON lately, they were F-16's of SP. I have heard & logged them on the 3rd, but I can not tell you for sure if they flew on the 6th as well in the morning.
Checked some Mode-s logs, TIGER24 could have been airborne around that time. also a TOPCAT was logged with a german Hexcode around 1030.
QUID74,VADER4 were also airborne around your time of log. hard to tell...

I just wanted to know what it is, i know now MC130J from Mildenhall.

To be correct: your log is from the 6th?
TOTO33 departed Mildenhall around 0930z on the 7th to Ramstein/Stuttgart and further south. TOTO 31 & 32 followed. There was no TOTO on the 6th. They have currently 4 MC-130J's. all 4 were present at Mildenhall at Feb 6th and did not fly*
*Based on Mode-s logs, my own logs , http://banterops.blogspot.co.uk/, and scanner reports from Mildenhall
Basicly, I don't know what you have heard but based on the above you did not heard a MC130J on the 6th of Feb. the only MC-130J not logged is 11-5733, last flown on Feb 4th departed and arrived at Mildenhall as STRIX06. Besides, you also mentioned they sounded like spanish/italian not US.
To be absolutley sure, I have sent a message to Mildenhall group to ask if 352SOG flew on Feb6th.
