I have 2x KC135`s on screen A is using QID, B is using RCH. Which one is doing what please?
Thanks,  Dave.

QUID flight is possibly on a mission from Mildenhall (using based KC135's call sign) the RCH flight is the standard call sign and is probably a transit flight.

And since the Libya conflict has been going on, some of the missions out of Mildenhall have been using the "EXXON" call sign

Since the Libyan conflict, there have been many KC135 tankers flying over Spain every day heading to and from the Med. Mainly using the ID's of 'Gold' and 'Mobil' as well as variations on 'Mobil' such as 'Mobl' and 'Moble.' Some days there are as many as 6-8 aircraft flying over.

Not sure where they are flying from but could be somewhere in Portugal or perhaps the Azores.

Hi

The EXXONS currently fly out of Mildenhall to BARKWAY then head towards MIDHURST then turn left towards SEAFORD going out over France.

If anyone is interested they are on LTMA Clacton 121.225 then onto London Mid E 132.605 and then on Seaford High on 132.84.

Most likely be in Lajes (Açores).
In my log there's got loads of K35R between March and April.

Thanks for that Aerotower. It certainly has been busy with them lately.

Hi

Just to add that they are also using PRIUS callsigns also.
