Scramble Messageboard

Hi Scramblers,

I am looking for a lift from YOUR local international airport to / from Luxeuil for the Friday of the Spotters Day. Obviously will share car / petrol / beer / resonable overnight stop costs.

Please reply before the cut-off date for payment!

Thanks

Starman

Arriving yesterday was "new" Boeing 707-300C "295" in the sexy new dark* scheme. It is almost certainly the former B707-366C SU-AXJ (cn 20919/888) / N707KN. It has (so far) no boom nor were wing pod refuelling tanks fitted - it might even be the a/c I couldn't identify at SAT in ...

Also noted recently by the Moron spotters have been

04Apr KC-10 20193/Travis
06Apr KC-10s 40193 & 50027 both 305AMW and C-17A 88202

KC-10A 91711/ 60th AMW noted active by the locals at B.A. Moron (LEMO) 29th March

Unusual lunchtime visitor today 30th March is ZH865 C-130J-30 c/s RRR5362 which joins 88606/RS C-130J on the ramp.

A few updates to the master list from the local B.A. Moron spotters:

22/03 00348 & 91459 22ARW
23/03 91468 171ARW & 91486 22ARW

The E-4B left LLBG at 08.00LT and should be back in Cairo by now

For sure that's an example of a perfect country...

Recently arrived C-17A 77178 (RCH29) 436AW "Dover" (can't trust these arrivals boards) and E-4 31677 (c/s EDGE77?) just arrved from Cairo (also south of Finland)!

Dennis, if you have the individual a/c callsigns you'll make the Libyan spotter community ever so happy, thanks!

It was indeed the Enterprise, but couldn't tell if she was North, or Southbound in the canal.

Israeli newspapers Wednesday carrried a US Navy press release photo (undated of course, but recent) of a mighty flat-top heading thru the Suez Canal. Probably means there are a pair of them in theatre by now!

And of course that should have been Kearsarge

According to the Israeli Press, the USS Kearsarge passed thru the Suez Canal "yesterday" on her way "to Libya". Photos shows CH-53s and V-22s on deck.
