Six, soon to be eight, KC-135s are on a Coronet East 048 tasking this morning dragging what I suspect are 12x "SJ" F-15E Strike Eagles from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina to RAF Lakenheath.
GOLD 21/22 and GOLD 31/32 appear to be collecting them from Seymour Johnson, and GOLD 24/34 have departed RAF Mildenhall this morning. We'll most likely see a GOLD 23 and GOLD 33 depart Bangor ANGB later this morning.
There have been C-17s flying from Seymour Johnson AFB to Ovda Air Base in Israel in the past few days.
