[MilCom] REACH 339 inbound to MacDill from overseas

[AllanStern at aol.com]

REACH 339 is inbound to MacDill tonight. He passed  his maintenance writeups 
and requested Customs on 311.0 Lightning  Ops. Said he has 32,000 pounds of 
fuel and 11 SOB.
   If his callsign is true to his tail (which it does not have to  be), this 
might be KC-135 #60-0339 which was a Fairchild AFB bird several  years ago, 
then a Grand Forks AFB bird. But more recently it was a Kadena  AFB bird.  If 
anyone goes by MacDill tomorrow and sees a KC-135 with tail  code ZZ, let me 
know. That will mean he is still a Kadena bird.  Wondering  also if MacDill's 
6AMW has inherited the bird from Kadena.
