Does anyone usually log the callsigns of RC135's or EP-3E's that depart for Missions in the Eastern Med?
Example of RC135 callsigns used in the past TWINE, REPAY, PESKY.

N532TX made another short stop at Souda today, on its way back from Dubai Air Show.
QUID 742 and QUID 743 departed this morning to Mildenhall.
MAZDA 81-85 flight arrived today. They were F-18's but no logs available. I assume they will depart the following days West bound. Any further info is appreciated.
