Default Rego requests - Richmond 23 March 2011

Hi all

If anyone knows the ID of the USAF C-17 at Richmond yesterday morning
(7.30 ish) I would appreciate that info. (It had left by 4.45pm)

Also can anyone confirm that the remaining 3 707's there are A20-623/624/629?

thanks as always

Dave

The C-17 was 05-5142, from March ARB, CA.

It was operating the weekly USAF mission from Travis AFB, CA to Alice Springs, NT.

If it was the normal C17 that I hear, its usually RCH5E1; "Reach Five Echo One".

Can't confirm though.

RCH7E1 this week.

The USAF seems to have changed their mission callsigns from the start of this year and a Travis operated service is 5E1, Hickam is 6E1 and March is 7E1.
