Just to clarify - for people like me who are short on the uptake (I've read through all the excellent info - but it makes my head spin!) - am I right in understanding that it was a single pair of B-1's that departed Dyess last night?

So that would make the quoted time attually 16:35 for the arrival at Fairford ?
Wind’s currently favour a RWY 09 recovery

A detachment of only two aircraft would seem unusual - I'm guessing we might expect another pair (at least) in the next few days...? :unsure:

That's what usually happens they don't always deploy all at once.

There's another KC-135 tracking over the North Sea tracking south, according to FR. No ID but its out of Geilenkirchen. For those trying to find it its just about to pass the Delta flight DAL161
