Understand. But thought the callsigns and units tie ups might be helpful

Agreed Mark, everything that's heading east at the moment is said to be due to the problems but as far as what I'm seeing everything without exception so far has been the expected swap in/out as normal, double bean counting id say.

I think this might've been known a while back, or just completely unrelated. One of DC's F-16s 86-0044 are currently flying for the 177th, but I wasn't sure if it was a loan or what it was. Maybe to train with the 177th pilots for this deployment? 86-0044 isn't one of the ones that went east though based on what I read here.

The interesting part would be to see if the people/assets they are relieving are returning, or remaining.

Thanks
