Next monday I want to visit Geilenkirchen to see the KC135 and E3's. But as I have to drive a great distance I don't want to miss them.

Which time is de best time to Catch the planes. When to they (normaly) leave or come back from a mission?

Thanks in advance

According to Scramble SIS, the detachment of Tenna ANG KC135s will end this Friday.
Normally, a new detachment should commence next Monday. If so, these tankers will arrive roughly between 08:00 and 10:00 local.
By that time, one or more E3s will be airborne aswell.
Mission times vary greatly, but 9 am to 5 pm is not uncommon...

According to SIS summary there will not be any KC-135s arriving next Monday!
Current deployed tankers will depart Friday. Next tankers will arrive 23-2.

It was for this exact reason I used the word 'normally'
