We happened to be there too and left around 1430, so I can fill in some gaps:

88197 was the missing 62nd AW one
33124 was a 437th AW bird
85712 was the 317th AW C-130J
88601/RS "86 AW" was hangared, in the easternmost hangar, but towed out around 1430
We did not see a 606 (just 601, 602, 604, 609 to 613 and 43142 (the last one was parked along the 317th example), so your 606 may have been 610?

Also, there was a Grissom AFRC KC-135, 10272 and we can confirm the N918AX.
Lastly, we can confirm the continued existence of the ABDR F-15A on the SE side of the base, east of the ammo ramp.

Thank you, nice to find out the Dyess J.

Yes, saw the F-15 from the castle area and the F-86 was also visible from Kindsbach.

EvD, can you confirm that the KC-135 61-0272 was a Grissom bird and not a Tinker one??

Cheers,
Eric

[Bram]

Eric,we saw 61-0272 also at RS,

It wears the fin stripe frim Grisom.
Red fin stripe from 74 ARS 434 ARW AFRC.
But from wat i heard a few days back it is a new 135 from the 507 ARW AFRC Tinker AFB.
So recently transfered from the 434 ARW to the 507 ARW.
But still wearing his old unit markings

Cheers

Ok thanks for your answer Bram

[Oscar01]

Bram,

Try to identify him by the markings on his boom, as that's always the first thing they change. This one had boommarkings of his new unit and fin tip markings of his old unit....

Regards,
Oscar

[Bram]

Hi Oscar,

Thanx for the info
Next time will also have a look on the boom.
Did not know that they change the markings on the boom first

Cheers

Bram
