Taken over Williamtown today!

Apparently they are here for a while as there is a crew change for the KC-135 this weekend.

Hopefully we will get some sort of westerly wind so they use runway 30, for the arrivals, although a 12 departure would be interesting with F15's going out low and fast!

Apparently from a source at work they are here for an FCI course that goes for a month.

Will try and find out more tomorrow.

Cheers

Mick,

Best Idea is to stay in Raymond Terrace/Heatherbrae or Newcastle. There is plenty of accom in the Terrace ranging from Motels to Caravan parks and onsite vans.

Default KC10 or C17

There hasn't been a KC10 to my knowledge but there was a USAF C17 departure last saturday, Also a RAAF C17 on Sunday with one arriving Wednesday afternoon!

Thanks to Fighterworld for that information
