Thank you 🤝 Sometimes I put the AAR filter on ADS-B out of curiosity to see what’s happening. It’s a useful filter

USAF 🇺🇸 F-16C Fighting Falcon #BUZZRD #AE26D3 pinging briefly between Rhodes/Turkey also at 31,000ft & 624mph as the tankers were passing west of Cyprus. Assuming it was an Aviano bird

I'm hoping they are just repositioning. Maybe northern Iraq? 🤷 Beyond my paygrade I'm afraid

A bit like the elections - we ordered a re-count. Eight, not six, so far.... #AE0153 63-8002 #AE04CA 60-0360 #ADFF10 63-7995 #AE0242 58-0065 #AE059D 60-0362 #AE04C0 58-0124 #AE0479 58-0061 #AE068F 62-3534

I would really like there to be a resolution to this that isn't just "kidnapping is legal now, good luck"

I haven't been able to concentrate too much while at work today & I ran out of fingers & toes but from what I saw.... 9 x KC-46A GOLD flights from Ramstein 3 x KC-135 (no c/s) from Moron & 3 x KC-135 from Mildenhall (supporting GOLD?) 4 x KC-135 Global Reach repositioning from Prestwick (to Chania)
comment in response to post
Add #RCH038 repositioning out of Prestwick also. KC-135 #AE0687 60-0349
comment in response to post
Meanwhile, repositioning from Prestwick on Global Reach c/s and heading down to the Mediterranean are KC-135 Stratotankers #RCH036 #AE036A 63-7985 #RCH035 #AE0391 63-8039 #RCH037 #AE023D 58-0121

Tankers on the move pinging over Europe just now. Mostly USAF. It's not all of them, just the ones pinging right now
