Saw report GOLD-11,21 is taking TABOR-61-66 Altrav flight to Moron.
GOLD-12 came North from Florida this morning.
Maybe those Homestead F-16's mentioned here by René
So far also in addition to those RCH 23,24,25 Travis KC-10's to Moron a couple more KC-135's
RCH 020,022 to Europe via Polar loop... Will have to keep an eye out for that AR-80 Res tonight.. Maybe a big one.
Have previous seen RCH tankers with bombers and F-22's in the past.

Jan 3 is the anniversary of us taking out the Iranian General. The Iranians are known to use anniversaries of events to do their "thing".

Based on what's happened in the Sand Pit over the last couple of days I would expect to see more assets heading over there.

1130 local Those two SPUR tankers 71,72 continue pushing on towards New England high and fast..
No coms or receivers seen or heard yet but they both just started to drop in altitude.
Maybe both gonna stage at Pease NH for someone later.
1150 both on course for Pease ANGB aka Portsmouth KPSM. I guess they can still handle KC-135's still seeing they
all have KC-46's now

Not hearing anything on UHF except for the fighters off the coast in the warning areas. Presume the tankers on are VHF with ATC.

Right now I am considering it to be an air/air for Angry - further listening in the days to come might confirm that guess. Talking about 340.050 that is.....

As for those SPUR tankers they added another 3 Hour AR80NE window for
Tuesday 1600z-1900z (11am) so maybe SPUR tankers for that mission..
Still have AR80NE 3 Hour Res for tonight starting 7:30PM local so maybe two groups?
See what turns up..
1830z couple more KC-135's from Mildenhall UK headed down range Middle East RCH 008,RCH 009.
