But the KC's took the northern route (st John, Keflavik, Estonia)

Lajes direct to Estonia with an A10? Flying time 8 hours? Quite a long ride I would say.

Lets wait and see

Lajes to Estonia is just over 4200km. No idea how long that would take in an A-10. As long as they bring a magazine, some inflight snacks and a bag for bodily fluids it should work alright?

Florida to Lajes is over 6700km.

That logistic planes go directly to the final destination is logical. They just need a light cross-servicing at Lajes and ... (maybe) SP ...
Wait and see.
Any update is more than welcome :-)
Thanks.
