The only proof I can give you regarding my theory of 14 aircraft deployed is that I read off the four Strikes at Kandahar myself and know they were weather diverts from Bagram.

However the return journey on the 8th of September consisted of Mazda 61-66, Mazda 71-76 and Mazda 81-84. I am aware two of them were left behind and should be returning to Lakenheath on Wednesday as Mazda 85-86.
The F-16s arrived at Moron this evening. They should be departing to Balad this Thursday, September 18th.J.J. wrote:As announced above, here´s what you can expect in the next couple of days:
