Both are up now as well as the C-17 from AK which is over NC. Lotta tanker action...wonder what things aren't showing up that is taking that fuel tonight.

Edit:
Seems like a couple of C5s where the cause for those tankers.

Looks like a couple RCH C-17s out of Germany dropped down and across Italy and met the QID birds. The Gold KC-10s are dragging F-18s.

Several C-130s went through yesterday. Looked like normal runs probably carrying supplies to one of the bases.

Also of note...looks like a meeting took place in Belgium and Valor21 took off to Spain after...another bird went straight down towards the ME but is off map atm. I assume NATO meeting. It's pretty damn neat to be able too see this much of what's going on.

Remember rule #1 for the really interesting things. NKAWTG. Always, always, always watch the tankers. You can learn a lot of surprising things watching them.

And Rota is hopping today.

Three thousand troops heading to the area. We should see more movements tonight. A number of the RCH flights that went over on the 1st went back into the Pope area.

I see those birds returning to Mildenhall had to fly around France after apparently being denied overflight.

Well apparently France made remarks that they were pissed we made the strike against him - so it's possible.

Looks like its a minor inconvenience as I'm still seeing C17s flowing in. They are just splitting between Spain and Germany as far as routes in. Also see a lot of turn around traffic in the states too.

3 more C17s dropped a bit ago and 2 more inbound. HOOCH21/51 are taking the Mediterranean back to Spain...wonder if those are the birds from last nights raid.
