All bases (other than McConnell) have tail flashes

Not sure why the 22nd hasn't added them...

Friday 05/02/2021
133ARS/157ARW/New Hampshire ANG received their 12th and final KC-46A today - 16-46020 - becoming the 1st unit to reach full strength on the type.


Saturday 06/02/2021
77ARS/916ARW/AFRC received their 5th delivery from the factory - 18-46056.

It would appear that the unit is also operating two aircraft on loan from 22ARW (17-46035 and 18-46045)

Backy is a 77ARS call sign.
