Supposedly there was a B-1B show of force flight this morning.
Tanker support was out of MacDill.

Saw the BACN E-11A jet leaving PR last night back to US... Busy down there.

From the FL guys on the B-1s

The B-1B flight did happen, even though Trump says it did not.
It was seen on ADSB by others.

I left Proscan running overnight on Wed night into Thurs.
Did not catch the B-1B, but did hear the tankers.

ads-b.nl had tail 57-1473 leave MacDill and head SE toward the Caribbean.
The track dropped over the Bahama's.
That might have been them.
