Cheers for that - helped my logs out a bit!

Did you happen to get an aircraft using a callsign sounding like Bach (21/41)? It could have bee an F-15 I guess but I havnt heard that one before.

The aircraft with the funny callsign was Catch31 it was 81803 MC130H 352SOG.
The a/c in the hangar is 12667/OF WC135W 55WG which is still present after returning from it's last mission with three engines.
