Planning an early visit tomorrow are wondered if there was any update on the departure of the ANG F-15s as I have seen no mention that they actually departed today.

An updated ALTRV G0339/18 is filed for tomorrow. Starttime 09.14z, so 1hr earlier as the original one. ETD around 9bst I should think.

Cheers,
Ranger

Unsurprising considering the weather fronts currently crossing the Atlantic.

Altrev is for tomorrow but that could of course be cancelled just like today's was. Nothing is concrete when it comes to crossing the pond
