At least 2 further E-3G "Sentry" AWACS are scheduled to depart, and their supporting tankers have begun moving:

E-3G "SHUCK84" 76-1506 #AE11DC (awaits)
E-3G "SHUCK85" 79-0001 #AE11E7 (awaits)
KC-46A "DECOR21" 21-46091 #AE63C7 (airborne)
KC-46A "ETHYL31" 21-46061 #AE5FA8 (awaits)
KC-46A "FIAT41" 21-46088 #AE63C4 (awaits)
(+ possibly a 4th tanker TBC)

This would bring the total in Europe to 4 airframes tomorrow.

And possibly a third, unless they got the airframe number wrong - 76-1605.

Another E-3 “Sentry” Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft has appeared just now on flight tracking off the eastern coast of Canada and is preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe.
