Is there a website I can go to that shows which KC-135 from McConnell are assigned to which squadron? I am replacing the old PAI with the new MGAI paints. I am trying to assign the new un-used paints (the number of paints is not the same as the plans) but I don't know which paints go to which squadron.
I been to scramble.nl but that just lists all the regs as the 22nd ARW.

You will probably find that aircraft are no longer allocated to a squadron but shared across the fleet as required which is why they are all shown as 22nd ARW.

The way I did it was to spread then evenly across each squadron.

Also the 384th ARS is retro now having deactivated from the 30th of September 2016 to make room for the KC-46A. Scramble shows 9xKC-135T, 8xKC-135R(RT) and 36xKC-135R allocated to the 22nd ARW.

Thanks guys! This really help. I had to leave out so many of the new paints! The old PAI package had 34 paints, but the new MGAI paints has 64 McConnell paints.petebramley wrote: 12 May 2017, 09:22 The way I did it was to spread then evenly across each squadron.
I guess I will take the 384th plans and divide them evenly between the other 3 squadrons.swp53 wrote: 12 May 2017, 09:47 Also the 384th ARS is retro now having deactivated from the 30th of September 2016 to make room for the KC-46A.

Re: Help with Mcconnell afb KC-135's
One quick question. I had a chance to go to McConnell tonight to see the new paints on the new model. What does the SOCC model look like? I looked at the flight line and I didn't see anything new with the model. What am I looking for to distinguish a regular KC-135R and the new SOCC model?
Also I put the SOCC model in the KC-135R folder, is that right? Should it go in there? or in the KC-135R Refueling folder (the one from the Mildenhall package?

Re: Help with Mcconnell afb KC-135's
The refueling folder is for a model which extends its boom so you could have a refueling package, if you program it right, and therefore the cruising speed is lower.
The SOCC or KC-135R(RT) is the same as the standard folder models and does not extend its boom.

The SOCC model simply has a refueling slipway above the cockpit which on this model is only a texture change that shows the refueling stencils. So it's simply a slightly different texture on the model. It can be combined with any of the regular KC-135R model folders.
