6 left St Louis, 1 turned back enroute (airspare), suspect a second one has done the same now the 4 are established on the Atlantic crossing (more or less!). If there ARE still 5 then that'll be a nice bonus!

On initial call to Gander Centre there were definitely five F-15's that checked in, RETRO 61 - 65.

I think that the extra one is probably the one that failed to make it last delivery - only 3 made the crossing instead of 4.

Is this a 100% that they're due into Lakenheath now rather than mildenhall?
