That should not be for them as each cell should be 48hrs on the deck before departing LN for CONUS .

That most probably was for the AK F-22s that arrived at Moron yesterday from the desert

There is some guesswork taking place here. Firstly, the ALTRV is for a departure from the UK or Northern Europe and not from Spain (Moron). Secondly, the AK Raptors haven't arrived in Moron yet and given what happened in Syria overnight, they might not head West for a few more days, weeks or even months yet.

Probably a silly question to ask but are they visible from the warren or do you have to crawl the fence to see all 12 that have arrived so far

I'm told that yesterdays were visible from the Warren. As todays have parked directly opposite on the other side of the taxiway, I would imagine that these are also visible from there. I have not verified this for myself as I did the (extremely) long walk down the field.

They are not in the usual place, but in the dispersal right in the SE corner, i.e. by the 1st bend in the taxiway from the 06 end.

Can anyone confirm how many of the MO Eagles are still here? If I've followed this thread correctly, 12 have arrived but 6 of them left earlier today?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated - it's a long haul up from Hampshire!
