Since KC-135s are permanent residents at Savannah IAP or Hunter AAF, that activity usually indicates that there is an exercise going on. Some of the … Continue reading Third Sentry Savannah Exercise of 2018 Underway at the Savannah Air Dominance Center
Savannah - I got back into Savannah from Brunswick yesterday morning just in time to catch the last sorties of the latest Sentry Savannah exercise.
