Rgr saw on Acars earlier today some FIST tankers pressing onto Guam from Hawaii.

Iran says they can now missile Diego Garcia.. Prob just political bluster.. Would be huge mistake.
Sad that History shows every Spring from WW-1 to Afghanistan etc that Spring time is war time.
Winter break is over and maybe here we go again

Yeah, the whole TACAMO fleet is getting the new hex modifications. I wonder if the E-4B Nightwatch NAOC's will be next.
