Nothing showed up - may have been open as a diversion base for something.

I took it that the first flight takes off from KBAD at 2250 this evening?

Looking at the times, the first of the support flights arrive at 07:00 local, 08:40 local and 11:30 local tomorrow.

As I pointed out in The Fighter Contro Mess - Mildenhall Closure and Fairford Base - Notam 20/9 Dragon 21, we might be seeing a dramatic change in US posture; the question is, is it short or long term bomber deployments into Fairford? A big deployment sends out a clear message. Have a nice revisionist Cold Day.
