None at all a nice photo op was held this morning with the deployed personnel positioning in front of a B-1 with two fire engines on either side of the aircraft. Very frosty this morning.

That could signal the impending end of this deployment. Things like that were normally done once the work/tasks were completed. Tidy up, maintenance weekend, followed by departure next week??

Wouldn't surprise me if the deployment is nearly over.

Agreed. They usually last about three weeks.

Although I'll be sad to see them go, at least I'll finally get a bit more work done...

It doesn't mean they have to fly every odd day. No one knows for sure when they are scheduled to be up, plus as has been said, they maybe getting ready to go home.

No need for humble pie at all. Chris only put it forward as statistical not factual. Anyone relying on it as "gospel" only has themselves to blame.

They were supposed to either last or the one before though, then canned due to the weather.
