Rene,
I'm afraid you're incorrect. The CV-22s routed TXKF-LPAZ-LERT last night mate. I guess you saw their plans filed to Lajes but that didn't happen.

The CV-22s and MC130Js diverted from Lajes to LPAZ due strong winds in that day! LPAZ was much better in that day with winds around 17 knots and clean sky. Lajes was opposite.
RCH1031/32 CV-22 were 11-0051 and 11-0061
RCH1033/34 MC130J were 09-6210 and 08-6205
Helga50 only stayed about two hours on ground for refueling and departed.
Regards.

Is quite possible this Cn235 make us a visit at Lajes before going to USA.

Should be VMAQ-3? (Arrived at Al Udeid on 17 February.) Any idea which squadron they replaced?
