VTANG kicking off their drill weekend a little bit early tomorrow. PLB airspace active (Last time it was used as AWACS orbit), as well as the Lighting 4 ATCAA which usually means tankers will be coming for an AR. Note, last few drill weekends, VTANG has had Langley F-22s join them.

Looks like Langley F-22's working their way back here soon.
Came West thru the Med April 5th to Spain so guess resting a bit or getting tankers together.
Maybe this weekend as nothing up this morning yet from Spain.

Looks like an AWACS heading out to AW-712. They cancelled the PLB Orbit for today. Maybe this aircraft was retasked ?
