Mass migration of RC-135's from Offut AFB to Travis AFB happening now.
12 RC-135's are visible on ADS-B at this moment.

Any particular reason for this migration?

Good question. I'd like to know as well.
Too bad I somehow cannot attach my ADS-B screenshot to my post...

It's the usual weather evacuation due to the lack of shelter at Offutt. Happens frequently whenever there is severe weather forecasted in the area (link).
