GOLD01 with TABOR51-56 SJ F-15 to ACK TABOR57 rtb KGSB

Looks like GOLD-13 went out from Spain and met those thirsty F-15's North of Lajes and took them
into Spain as did GOLD-03 earlier. Those KC-46's are getting more altrav work these days.
Seems better more efficient altrav like this rather than usual two tankers per 6 F-15's drag all the way across.
