Hi Guys
Which tanker units were based at EGUN during the 1980s. I assume they were KC-135As plus KC-135Qs for the SR-71s based at the Hall.
Also any other units based there.
TIA

Oh, I have the same vintage of information for Ramstein, Barksdale and USAFE as an overview, if that’s useful to anyone.
