Changes noted on July 13th were the absense of the RC135 and KC135 80055.
While executing a final scubadive for the day an RC135 was seen inbound. I would put my money on 64-14846

Only Sentry 675 was missing during a late afternoon visit on the 20th. In the morning around 11:00 a KC135 was seen landing, presumably 0323.
