RCH-564 KC-135 #63-8017 from Beale AFB working way back to US with replacement vertical tail from that nasty collision overseas back in March.
Prob will work its way back to Tinker like the others with shrapnel holes.

Italian AF-1416 now direct Albany on ZBW 118.425.. Odd route. Maybe don't want to dodge wx along the coast.
the flight plan as seen on Flightaware shows them taking the northern routing into Andrews (crossing over PA) - was hoping for pass near me but currently in the middle of a bad thunderstorm with heavy raing - so yeah maybe not.

Mark - yeah that is odd the routing is there but the dashed line - estimated flight path does not match. SInce I originally looked at it.
