GOLD-31 KC-10 #79-1948 just departed Travis Northbound..
I think 6 tankers can take 12 F-22's across Country.Maybe pick up two more tankers at Pease later.
Maybe a longshot the F-22's stop at Langley which is closest F-22 support base out East.
Now here comes GOLD-21 KC-10 #86-0031 off Dover westbound.. Sounds like they changed that KC-10's mission.
Crew prob ticked off. First Dover stop as GOLD-41 now 3400 miles back to Alaska for new mission.

Mark I heard them for a short time on my Shore scanner. checking in with each other for the ride to Shaw.
I'd love to see the C-17 support, the F-22's have long legs when they need them, support is a different matter (although the KC-10 actually has more pallet positions (contoured though) available).
Thanks

In the eighties Loring AFB had two KC-135 squadrons, looking for their static callsigns.
42nd AREFS : PINE ?
407th AREFS: no idea ....

Hi Mark.USAF news site says F-22's will be deployed soon. Maybe some Langley F-22's?
Orlando in August.. Doesn't get much hotter than that
Yes all the mil action is out West in the Panhandle area and way down Key West with some MacDill tankers floating around
Central Florida.I fly to Tampa often and rarely see anything except to circle overfly MacDill on way in.
Have a good safe trip! Maybe you will run into some Olympians celebrating at Disney down there or see a rocket launch.
Space X has launches Aug 7th,10th and the 18th from the Cape.
Thanks for all the info, really appreciate it 👍 Yeah will be hot for sure. We managed Dubai in August 22' so hopefully that will put us in good stead hopefully 😀 Might consider that 18th launch for Space X as we arrive on 14th August.
Many thanks also FLboy850 for all the info 👍
Google search suggests LUSH or TATER.Callsign help needed ....

The rumour mill has started over here! All 8 tankers (Gold 21-24 and Gold 31-34) due into Mildenhall from around 6pm Tuesday. And the F-22's are due into Lakenheath for a stop over and departing Thursday. Time will tell if true or not!

I was curious if she would make the announcement tomorrow from the campaign headquarters in Wilmington, but I'm sure you would have posted advance notice by now if that was the case.
Tuesday is the day according to the campaign and White House.
A RCH-9062 headed up towards Alaska KC-46 #21-46058 out of SJ.
Maybe a spare parts hauler though sure there will be some C-17 help as well.
Prob will need an Atlas Air 747 for all the ground crews
Couple Charleston C-17's now headed up that way tonight too.
RCH-0534 #90-0534
RCH-7188 #07-7188 Seems tail 7188 shares or used to share same mode s (AE07F8) with #97-0046
Thanks to APRS watcher also in Montana for that A/A McConnell 337.050.
In case a few head this way someday.

GOLD-21 KC-10 from Dover made Eielson AFB a short while ago.
F-22's are not normally stationed there as mainly an F-35 base but Alaska F-22's get up there at times.
Most F-22's are stationed at Elmendorf which a possibility is with all those tankers and being Summer time
and Tuesday is arrival day at UK then from Eielson they can do a one shot polar route in single day or the F-35's are going?
Just a WAG.
They mispelled GOLD so it showed on Flight tracking as GLOD-21.

Those Charleston C-17's all now seem headed for Seattle McChord AFB.
Lead plane is RCH-0214 #10-0214 now dropping down up that way along
with three more coming out of Charleston..
RCH-081 #07-7185
RCH-083 #08-8204
RCH-082 #10-0220
Six Charleston C-17's in long line headed that way..hmm. Hurricane evac?
TS Debby is supposed to head up that way this week. Seems overkill flying all that way but that is our USAF
