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....

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.
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...

At Ramstein already Toto33 / 11-5714, inbound now is Toto32 11-5737 and just departed EGUN is Toto31 11-5731
Toto was already at Ramstein on the 7th, i know what i've heard on the 6th.
I just wanted to know what it is, i know now MC130J from Mildenhall.

Perhaps I don't understand you.
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.
