Do you know if the C-130J-30s are due out tomorrow. Im down there (Johns field hopefully) and it would be nice to see them.

Also, do you know if the RC-135 and E-6 are expected to fly?

I had the RC as Snoop 48, but its probably an SBS mess up (again! lol!

)

It's all of interest thats why we all use this forum. Additional info always welcome.
Unfortunately I don't know when the J-30s are leaving so we'll all have to get there early tomorrow!
Cheers, Stig.

Johns Field Stig? :D

Location : norfolk Spotter Watch Member : no

Probably the lane as the field is unrideable on my motorcycle at the moment.
By the way heard 37311 i/b at 2230 and CONVOY something at 2355 so even more to look foward to!
Cheers Stig.

Convoy 7 seems like its a C12 judging by the sound as it came near mine this evening.
and the RC was / is still in.

The lane beside the field? Or pollards lane?

The RC-135 arrived as 'Snoop 57" and not as "Snoop 48" (SBS) and the MC-130P departed as "RCH 1012" and not as "Shado91" (SBS) and the C-40 was unmarked.

It's most probably just me but it gets really annoying when things are assumed and then perpetuated down the line as a reality.

Location : norfolk Spotter Watch Member : no

Pollards Lane is the one that goes past Johns field!
That's were I'll be.
Thanks for the additional info Dougie, sorry my mistakes annoyed you so much.

Yes it does.. So you can see the early morning Snoop 48 is in capital letters, indicating that it was not herd on radio,so was an SBS call sign,the eddited version will show it as Snoop 57 in bold,and i also show the Reach SBS call sign (if not herd ) as RCH ###, if herd i then show em as Reach ###
Hope this of some help.. Cheers

Hi Ray

Thanks for the info. I would just like to correct one of your callsigns. C-130T 165158 arrived and departed Mildenhall as 'Convoy 3645'

Cheers Dougie,, Thing is.. My SBS sends info to a site, I then after a while,copy and paste the USAF stuff from that into a log, but on this one code 000A11 came on my SBS and wasn't sent to Flyfish site and it didn't show as its not a normal Mill code, and no call sign showed on my SBS, this call sign was added by me, first called on Mildenhall dept's 136-500,as I see it on my SBS, it was told to go to 121-225 and was told CONVOY 5732 to clime to 16,000ft and sqk #### this code then came up at 16,000ft and showed a same sqk.and heading to Barkway.I watched for a while and every time Convoy 5732 was told an Altitude change this code changed to match,it was then told later to change freq and go to ( missed it then) as I was also listening to the E6 Razz 33.dint follow any longer.
Don't know what call sign was on the flight plan, but I herd several times Convoy 5732
