Team 76 flight should have been a flight of 3 KC-10s Team 76/77/78. They are still in Lajes and could be linked with the F-15 deployment coming up next week to the Persian Gulf. But that is a wild guess.

Hi,

These are prepositioning for 492nd deployment due out tomorrow. Accompanied by 3 KC-135s out of EGUN and probably 3 KC-10s out of Sigonella. So would say that these 3 are the ones.

Thanks for your related tanker info, Dutchmil, sentinel and Oscar01! But in case of the 492nd EFS F-15E Strike Eagle deployment to Bagram AB, Afghanistan, please check my topic Lakenheath Strike Eagles enroute to Bagram AB, Afghanistan: http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=48080
