Afterward I mean though. There's. I reason for them to come that far east unless they're headed all the way to Europe or something right?

23:58z GOLD 98 Heavy KC-10 82-0192 Travis Bird off the deck in Bangor going to Moron Spain thanks Derek
No fighters with him? Guess going over to be inbound or stage tanker if needed.
Nothing off McGuire tonight so guess they will wait till late Sunday night.
KC-10's great for Marine Corp F-18's with their rollout drogue hose.

GOLD99 (KC-135T 60-0342) will be off the deck from Bangor shortly following GOLD98 to Morón Airfield (LEMO). GOLD98 is over Halifax NS at FL350 0033Z
If the fighters follow the usual routine, they usually depart around 6:00am local for the trans-oceanic flight.
GOLD99 off the deck at 0050Z

It would appear the tankers just staged near Halifax. Both are off my screens (PlanePlotter) now so I think they are on their way due East. A couple of the fighters are still on the ground in Bangor. 1040Z
6-Ship due to take off soon from Bangor. 1045Z
