Well done Peter, now where are they based. best regards mac

F15's are at Lakenheath??

Had to look around but it's actually a 747-269B(SF), Reg N707CK. Seems to be "based" in Europe and a regular at Mildenall and in Germany, but it's got a US registration so I would say it's registered at Kalitta's base in Ypsilanti, Michigan. EDIT:- Willow Run, to be precise.

Wiki tells me the 100ARW (100th Air Refuelling Wing) is based at Mildenhall.

This is fun, what's next?

Yes spot on Peter, the 747 gave us a right shock, We met a chap who showed us a great spot to park on a farem for £1, they even have w,c, this flys in and out of all the american bases with supplies, only seats are the crew. best regards mac

Sorry peter should have said this 380 is to replace the other one. did you see the documentary, on the making of this plane, unbelivable. best regards mac

I liked the test rig they made to make sure all the toilets flush.
