On departure from Mildenhall we made an early right
turn to continue on our flightplan to the Danish FIR for the days tasking.
The enroute time would be just over an hour
and once in position we didnt have to wait very long for the first of our mornings receivers to
call up and request
permission to join us in the skies over Denmark.

| End of the day its all to much for Andy,even Mtn Dew cant help him out! |
With 14 receivers visiting us in the morning
and the same again in the afternoon,it was indeed
a period of intense action,and lots of work and concentration going
on not only at the rear
of the aircraft,but also with the pilots at the front responsible for controlling our filling
station!
These kind of taskings show the hand in hand coperation between NATO member states to help
deliver
the correct force to the right place at the right time and provides the pilots with a friendly sight
when the tanks are
turning red!
The 100th ARW are also regularly tasked with serving fuel up for other member countries including
Germany,Netherlands,Belgium,Italy etc in their need for airborne refuelling.
I would like to say a big thank
you to the Crew of Quid64,Tech Sgt Kevin Wallace,Msgt Charles Tubbs and especially the guys at the
Royal Danish Air
Force for all their help in making this trip happen.
