Nachos anyone? KC-10s still there?

Post by Frank »

Hi all

For the overview page: can someone confirm that the three Nachos, the KC-10s, will remain at ETAD for a while?

Thanks!

One was active on ADS-B early this morning. Just transmitting while on the ramp. Later on it was off again.

Thanks Trabanti. Just out of curiosity: why does Arizona have a lot of BUFF? Barksdale is Louisiana and Minot in North Dakota. Or am i missing the joke:)

One of the KC-10’s just departed as Nacho130 according to das-b. Seems to be the first Nacho mission from Spangdahlem

Don't worry Frank, my wife has the same issue, so it's probably me, not you.

The boneyard is in Arizona. Last time I was there (a while ago, true) lots of BUFFs.. :-)

See you at SP one of these days?
