[MilCom] RE: ASCOT-3634 at DMAFB

[FLANO]

Thanks to all for the ID as a VC-10.  Unfortunately, couldn't see the tail
number, as I was driving by the base :<

I drove by again today and can confirm 6 UK Harriers are visiting us.   I
believe two of the planes may have "28" and "77" on them.  New voices on the
Snowbird Maintenance Talk Group too - 70, 71, and 72, at least.  The pilots
are using the standard Snowbird callsigns - Snow and Ice.  They've obviously
snuck in last week, as they were up and flying today :<

I believe I heard reference to 20 Squadron, which fits real nice with these
Harriers.  Haven't been able to see them close up to confirm markings....yet

Ascot-3634 was departing DMAFB this afternoon.  Unfortunately, didn't catch
where it was going.  It was a 4-engine jet transport, with the engines to
the rear, 2 per side.  Sorry, don't know my UK transport aircraft by sight
:)

As I drove by the Snowbird ramp, outside of the base, I saw at least 5
Harriers.  Don't know if they were also from the UK.
