Reach81 went up north to Nantucket, dropping of NAF625 most likely, made a U-turn and went south again. Just made a T&G at Charleston AFB 18:55Z

[Worldnis]

RCH82 63-8020 and RCH83 63-8045 just departed KBGR.

Reach 82 &83 are heading due east off the coast of New York which should take them to Lajes for a Sat21 22:30Z landing. No news on how many F-16 in tow

[AK01]

It's 5 F16's out of Lakeland/ FL, so no F16's out of Bangor at all.
2 F16's already at Lajes since last December. 7 should make it on Monday to Charleroi, let's hope they won't go technical once more.
