Where are AI aircraft kept.

About 18 months ago I inadvertently installed some RAF VC10 aircraft (from where?) & they appear at Brize Norton AFB & taxi & fly off at 11.15 hrs to the sunny climes of Southern Europe (Cypru, Malta, etc) & I'd be grateful if a guru can tell me which folder they might lurk in?
The flight consists of 7 or 8 grey tankers (over the Channel drogue lines appear & stay extended until just before landing) with one smart silver & white Transport Command job.
I recently joined in & followed a tanker at a discrete distance to Malta. When I landed, there it was at an apron parking space near the control tower 8-) I took lots of pictures of this trip!
I want to add them to my laptop fs9 but cannot find them so any help will be greatfully appreciated.

My guess is the package is RAF Brize-Norton from:
UK Military AIRAF Brize-Norton
RAF VC-10 ai package download at Avsim.
In your aircraft folder look for 'UKMIL_JBAI VC10*' aircraft (2).

Thanks Dave. Nothing with that name there......... :-?
I did install I remember, just Flight's Ultimate Traffic, but un-installed it as it caused a problem - could they be left-over from that?

I've never installed UT, but it's possible.
You can look for clues by looking in your \Aircraft\ folder for

I might have a go with the UKMil links but I am not sure when these aircraft appear. Do they behave like my other pc VC10s, appearing & flying at certain times?
I have the Lago Tornado & wonder if my VC10s are part of this installation?

I don't have the Lago Tornado. Looking at the package description, it does include VC10's (with F-16 escort) for in-flight refueling. Sounds like that's your source.
Re the UKMIL package: Yes, VC-10's fly out of EGVN, 24/7, on various schedules to airports throughout Eur., the Med. and the middle east.
If you decide to install (any) UKMIL packages you should also get their Afcad downloads, a link is at the bottom of the download page. These will put the necessary parking at the airports used in all their ai packages. Install the 'Latest_Afcad_Changes' package last. (Note: you'll need the UK2000 afcads only if you have UK2000 scenery installed.)

It's definately NOT UT....that's civil traffic only (I have it)
It's definately NOT Lago Tornado....you have to actually call a tanker which then appears 20 miles east of you
That leaves the UKMIL option, which sounds very likely

I have just downloaded the ukmil VC10 package on my laptop & this is the first time I've got it. The mystery flight is in the pc. They've been there for about the past year/18 months. No problem - they're great & I love following them to their various destinations!!
I'm going to post seperately about the ukmil download.
