The Atlas flight from Barksdale into PIK is GTI8064 according to Flightaware, due to depart any time soon.
Have to say IME Wayne's site is not always that accurate but I do worry about the risks his source(s) are subjecting themselves to on occasion. What is irritating is that very few of the people that frequent there and here see fit to update this site, a point amplified already

La will be fine, Barkesdale has huge parking ramps and is taking aircraft from Fl, over 150 expected.

Hi Cornish-guy, nice comment. spotter's that have a scanner receiver, can share heard info ;-) and lets us know when they are coming back to fairford and cameras ready :)
When they depart, I follow them out on receiver as far as I can and the Frequencies can change from radar to radar.
Lets all enjoy this current detachment :)
