Well, I was impressed enough on my initiation to venture back up to Suffolk on my next free rest day...my Mentor was working mwahahahaha! and had a pleasant surprise too.
I was still to purchase a scanner so went up to Lakenheath kinda blind, but the guys seem a friendly lot in this new hobby of mine and soon up went the shout that 3 French Alpha Jets were inbound to LN...in they came and I bagged my first Armee de l'air kites. Into my note book went tail numbers E-45, E-112 and E-51. We had 8 F15's too a bit later in the morning, all were needed and noted accordingly. 91-0303, 91-0331, 91-0312, 97-0220, 97-0221, 98-0131, 00-3003 and 01-2002. I have learned that each US aircraft has a FY number or Fiscal Year of manufacture.
LN went quiet, so I popped over to the Hall and bagged another 6 needed aircraft, an MC-130H 80195 (FY88), 73-0991 (222 FILO) a Turkish stars C-130E, and 4 new KC135 stratotankers, 38024, 71456, 71488 and 00342.
