It's all a bit weird/different to the usual pattern we are used to I understand the SP vipers are also still somewhere in the sandpit - they have been there for months? Also I have tried to update the summary on page 1 with the help on the very useful contributions in this thread I saw a picture a ...

This recent influx of C-17s and the Omni Air 767, does this point to the 389thFS coming back through soon or another deployment for the 48thFW? Probably both, if the 494th are going East, the 389th will presumably soon come back West? No the US are “putting pressure” on a place in the Middle East w...
