Also possibility of 4x C-17s in the near future.........not definite, but their mission numbers (not their callsigns) are in sequence and involve Barksdale AFB, so must be a possibility.

No problem, AM. Likewise, I don't need any of those.
Updates for tomorrow will be late in the day as I am going up to East Anglia for a couple of nights and won't be back until late Tuesday afternoon (beautiful Moody Blues track!!). Will have the laptop with me though.

hi,
only just catching up on comings and goings, from memory I saw on sbs 2x Atlas a/c on 11th heading south over Wales, I think one was N649GT, and the other N459MC... no chance of seeing them with the clouds but I thought of the B.52 deployment, as it was a odd routing...
regards,
dave...
