Tanker callsign is SUNOT 381 (new one for me). Don't see 3 digit tanker callsigns very often, noticed one on the west coast today too, ALEM 331. Related to the exercise I'm guessing ?
Thanks

Red Flag Alaska 21-1 also had VMFA-232 Hornets from Miramar so maybe some tankers for them
to get back to Southern Cal.. Hmm KC-10's would do that job nicely or BOBBY KC-135's with drogue hose mods.
BOBBY 31 62-3544 McGuire was MOLSON-03 back on Sept 21 so outfitted for Hornets.
Four teams one fight: RF-A 21-1 comes to a close
“30 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 3…2…1...hack. Welcome to debrief.” With that, the 353rd Combat Training Squadron concluded RED FLAG-Alaska 21-1 signifying the end of RF-A 2020 season.

I think the VT ANG is still officially in transition and not yet combat active or certified by USAF but
that is a nice thought .. Seems though they just got last of their 20 planes so about another year+ to get a Combat Cert.

Kind of surprised to see an C-17 at KLNS --
1920z RCH 557 C-17 00-0172 with Dover CP 349.400 inbound from overseas diverting Dover due to unsafe gear indication.
40 pax,13 pallets.. Now shows all 3 green on wheels but got to land and check out.

Yep. On Sunday SPUR 80-81 both ended up with HONE 11 on AR508W, then returned to EDF. There was also a HONE 12 in the area. Fighters out of Eielson ?
Nice catch.. With those HONE call numbers 11,12 betting those were 2 bombers.
Could have been two B-1's off Guam who are TDY there.
A SPUR 79 #79-1713 logged Japan this morning 0400-0500z. May be related.

Makes sense, when they could be heard their transmissions sounded more like a transport type vs that fighter talking through the O2 mask.
