At least.

12 would be likely.83-0024 was seen on the 14th and 85-0093 was one that was unconfirmed and read as 8.-00.3.These will be added.

It is a great pity we do not have a Kadena correspondant to confirm departures to and arrivals from this part of the world.

Another tanker drag is likely tomorrow.
