Dutch F-16 plus KDC-10 departed yesterday morning heading to west.

Indeed, they (F-16BM + KDC-10) are heading for Tucson, Arizona as the dual will join forces with the local 148th FS. The KDC-10 tanker can be expected to return in a few days with 10! Dutch F-16s following close by. Eight of them are returning from Nellis/Red Flag 13-2 and and MCAS Yuma (single seat) and two duals (from Tucson, Arizona) heading to the East again.
