Seems these two C-17's pressing on to VCBI airport in Sri Lanka... Maybe just another fuel stop?

News reports (if correct), say China is moving large amount of military assets into Taiwan Strait.

Which will then be followed by an investigation into the leaks tomorrow and depending on who leaks, no leaker will be found

Nothing showing on FlightAware KDOV schedule
The aircraft are not sending any SATCOM messages so perhaps 24 hours delay

So not leaving today?

I think you’re looking at the Saudia MRTT that’s departing tonight at 20:00. Inbound around 13:45 today. Registration is 2406

Whoops you're right. Suppose they're not leaving today?

There are probably crew rest requirements when not in war related operations.
Going to be a long flight from Dover to UK with just water underneath.

 

[Mark]

Crew rest and tweak the birds mechanically.
They could do early departure am tomorrow and land before sunset in UK.

Great shot - I need to research and see if they left the original HF antenna in place on the tail or just use the one on top.

E-6 BERET79 operating over the ocean. I wonder why they always fly up to my area then make a sharp turn to the southeast for their ocean orbit and do the same thing when coming back in the opposite direction

Yup they always do that, come up to somewhere in this area and go to the southeast.
