Yes there is, for both April 2nd & April 3rd check LPPO notams, but for EGGX indeed still no reservation. I asume they do need one from 45N 17W towards Lands end (or point before that).

They might not need one in EGGX because if they split from the tanker before the boundary and proceed via the TACAN routes, there will be no need for a Reservation.

It is highly likely that they will have split from the tanker by Lands End!

Hi there,

I do not know how much time they will take for the flight, but surely the three KC-10's will suport them!

I guess you should expect a flight of 5 or 6 hours i guess.

Reservation via EGGX is in as well. Calculating from that I would say a 15.30/16.30 local arrival at Spang (saturday that is).
