Think you are right Trends are not LN F-15's They departed 24th, not 25th

Believe they went northern route, they were heard statesside same day. Besides their callsign was CUBE not TREND, their (492nd FS) supporting tankers were BOBBY 81 & 82
Lakenheath is Notamed open Jan 26th, also Oceanic reservation for Shanwick suggest route to Conus rather via Lajes
