zitten daar die F35's niet bij?
Looked like a direct flight pretty high up for refueling. I don’t think it drug the F35’s across.

The Dutch 35’s were planned to stop at KBTV according to someone there.

The Dutch F-35's are on their way! Yesterday it was cancelled and today 7 started their trip to Spain or Lajes.
But it was not a success. Finally 2 F-35's landed in Spain, the other 5 returned to the Netherlands.
To be continued.

A Facebook post showing a patch for the 492nd’s Red Flag 24-2 attendance has surfaced.

Perhaps doing both Red and Green Flag?
