Approx 5 hours to go and then we'll know which birds are involved

This one should be dragging UAE F16's from Nellis via Moron. Maybe one went tech and the cell diverted?hammie wrote:Dc10 Gold 81 48-0185 starting to cross the Atlantic after he turned back a couple of hours ago maybe a backup?

RETRO41/44 confirmed airborne with KC-10A 87-0101 RCH086 out of EGUN.
RCH096 also airborne by 10:10z, so RETRO51/54 are likely to be as well.
Destination should be LLEK.
