Good evening all,


Great news! Days ago I tracked a C-5M callsign RCH 4070, took off on an early sunday morning from Minot AFB heading to Ramstein AB, from Ramstein AB it took off to Al Udeid AB. A strong indication that the BUFF's will be from Minot AFB flying combat sorties in the CENTCOM AOR for the next 6 to 9 months.

Love to see bombers downrange again, it has been a while.

I assume the BUFF's will use MYTEE or GRIMM callsigns for their ferry flights.

LIVID 11 flt B-52H, refueling with SKATER 31 flt KC-46 on the AR62E track. LIVID 11 flt did radio checks on HF before startup @ Minot AFB.

They will be flying all the way down to Al Udeid AB, so there's a chance they will pop up on flight tracking websites.

Callsign SKATER 33, confirmed KC-46 Pegasus, reg. 15-46070, is airborne.

I think there will be multiple tanker cells with two to three ship flt's, the B-52 flt's will be about the same.

2nd Bomb Wing B-52's prepping for a BTF europe deployment to RAF Fairford.

SKATR-32 #20-46075 22 ARW.
Montreal Ctr readback SKATR-31 says LIVID flight will be total of 5 aircraft with the 3 tankers.
Guess sent a spare tanker along SKATR-33. Guessing LIVID-11 flight will make for Gibraltar and Med after A/R
then will tank again there.
