55Wg call sign, expect it to have been on a mission together with an RC-135 perhaps?

OLIVE5x (also 4x series from memory) is used as a ferry callsign to/from the Med. Admittingly though, every time used by 55th WG indeed. Not the first time though a KC135 uses OLIVE76 as their callsign, but although I am not 100% sure. every time out of Geilenkirchen.

The OLIVE7x callsigns are used by the ESSO tdy KC-135s from Geilenkirchen, when they are deploying to the Mediterrean Sea for some days.
