The ones that didn't go today were flight planned to KORF not KNGU, although I realise it's only a 6 mile round trip away.

Yes the tankers go to Norfolk KORF or NGU but they split the fighters off to Oceana KNTU

Additional: The FNY FA50 is going back to Boston at 0705z, seemingly in support of the RFALs as it went out with the first cell too.

Hmm, now disappeared from the listing. :? The SHUCKs don't usually file in the civvie system so it could be that it's still coming and has been swiftly deleted from the civvie system, or it may have cancelled altogether. Does anyone monitor mode-s to see if it's coming?

I have no idea if the HKY669 arrived at Lajes or continue flight bound to US.
The RAF flight didn't make yesterday
