#USAF United States Air Force
RAF Mildenhall Activity
Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker 2x
#AE04FD 58-0095 - RAKE 21
#AE0659 59-1464 - RAKE 22
RAKE 21-22 have departed RAF Mildenhall for Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany, bringing the total number of tankers that have dispersed to 10x based 100th ARW and 2x transient.
This leaves a single transient tanker, six based tankers, and an RC-135. Of the six remaining based tankers, three have been active on Iridium in the last 18 hours.
RAF Lakenheath has been closed all day. The ATIS for Mildenhall is minimal, just instructs aircraft to contact ground for information.

A dispersal of active aircraft at RAF Mildenhall has taken place this evening, with 9x KC-135s (including 2x transient tankers), and 3x CV-22Bs departing.
RAKE 02-05 have relocated to Moron Air Base in Spain, while RAKE 01 has gone to Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany with LAGER 60. LAGER 70, and transient tanker REACH 5012.
RAKE 04 is active and trying to depart, but the airframe is currently unknown.
QUID 14 has gone to Prestwick solo, and the second transient tanker REACH 330 has gone to Ramstein Air Base. Three CV-22Bs as KNIFE 71/73/79 have moved to RAF Lakenheath.
At this time, I believe the NOTAM for the bases closure this week is NOT the reason for the dispersal.

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run ๐ถ๐ถ

Public service announcement:
UK, US and Indian AQI measurements work differently.
UK AQI scale: 0 - 10 capped
India AQI scale: 0 - 500 capped
US AQI scale: 0 - uncapped
Why? Because they measure different things at different intervals. India measures 8 pollutants, US 6 and UK 5. Some of the particulate and gaseous pollutants are measured at either 24hr, 8hr, 1hr or at 15 min intervals. So the formulae for UK and US/India AQIs are different.
As you were.
