Davis-Monthan AFB (DMA, KDMA)/AMARG

Anybody know if the second RAF Tornado Squadron came to D-M this week?

[Joe Copalman]

Bill, I've been told by a British friend that it might just be a crew swap with the airframes already at D-M instead of a different batch of aircraft.  Flightaware shows them operating down there still using the "ICE" callsign, so it might be worth a trip out to see if they're the same jets.

I am pretty sure the crew swap happened.  I saw a VC10 depart yesterday (heading northwest) in the crummy weather.  There was a TriStar as well, but I am not sure when it departed--I think during the night.
