On the 21st of February Kleine Brogel expects a French KC-135 tanker (ETA 09.30 am).
The tanker will fly day and night missions for Keebee aswell as Florennes.
The hosting squadron for daytime will be 349, nighttime will be 31.
This week the 31 squadron has nightflights and will use the tanker for airrefueling (AAR). The AAR track will be "Jojo", situated overhead Germany (very roughly near Norvenich-MonchenGladbach),
close to the dutch border.

And the winning number IS : 472/93-CC from ERV00.039, Istres. BUT there where problems with the C-135FR and he was grounded, so the BIG COMAO-excercise with 20 F-16s was cancelled.
