The sky was amazing we had a couple sharp short showers there as well this morning!,can't remember seeing so many cars and people today I watched the 2F22S returned and some helpful guy told me that the 6 expected had slipped another 24 Hours so sometime tomorrow I'm guessing?
Cheers.

Blue 72 is already on its way east out of Moron for the rendezvous , assuming Blue72 is the tanker.

Sorry to interrupt. Two questions:
1) Anyone for an interplane of the FF's? (the actual in use, please, not from some internet freqs lists).
2) Anyone to confirm they plan to visit Poland today?
TIA! Regards from Poland!

No, that would have been the next 6 F-22s coming in that landed at 11:40ish. The 2 that went to Poland are due back later this afternoon.
