So, hard on the heels of the B-2s, we now have a deployment of B-52s from Barksdale AFB, LA. Number and duration unknown at present.
Support flights are starting on 04/10 with 2x Kalitta Air B744F, 1x Atlas Air B763 and a C-5M - all from Barksdale.

They'll be B-52s, no support has arrived from elsewhere.
Some saying they're not due at all, others saying Monday.
