Default Richmond Today

I can confirm that there is a C-5 Galaxy at Richmond!!!
Anyone got any info on when it will be leaving and/or what its in for? Last i heard they dont come into Richmond anymore.

Was also there with a KC-10 and a C-17 behind it from what i could see.

Any info would be great.

Cheers

I have just arrived back home after going out to see it and after seeing it for the first time, all i can say is that it was a very large shadow. It was parked in between the C17 and KC-10. I hope it stays until wednesday but I'm definately holding my breath.

Was out at Richmond today and the Galaxy is still there. After making some inquiries it is said to be leaving tomorrow after lunch, from what i have been told. (Dont know what time 'after lunch' is tho. However i also heard that it may be leaving today but from what i heard from people on the base its tomorrow.)

Still dont have a rego for it sorry will try tomorrow.

The C-17 left after 11am as Reach-5-Echo-1 and was from Travis AFB.

KC-10 Still there as well.
