Does anyone have an idea where they are headed?

[dinger]

80-1086 departed east in the early hours of the 25th. 68-10336 is still present and due to head east on departure. Todays arrivals are heading home to Beale. There is a NOTAM for Fairford to be open early tomorrow morning so the three on the ground could be departing during this time.

Hope this helps,

Dinger.

Heard DRAGON51 (U2-S 80-1071 99 RS) on Athens 125.2 this morning (March 8th) , FL600. Switched Athens 126.125 at 09.40 GMT (so eastbound)

Checked out Nicosia ATC to see if it appeared again, perhaps on it's way to Akrotiri, unfortunately didn't hear it again.
But did hear SNOOP01 (U-2S 99 RS) climbing FL600, ATC mentioned 2 other aircraft already operating FL600

And indeed, heard DRAGON21 (U-2S 80-1080 99 RS) as well on Nicosia, switching 279.150? (serial via SBS-log near Paphos, Cyprus)
