    Yeah,,, saw a follow up story. It looks like a maybe some British plane spotters heard an IFE call and we're watching it on a flight tracker and assumed it crashed when it dropped off and they didn't see anyhting land.

    Those tanker and transport guys are really going to miss Mildenhall's runway center line lighting when RAF Mildenhall closes and they have to land at RAF Lakenheath.
