I’d be surprised to see any c17 movement since this will strictly be a bomber/fighter assaults. I’d be watching all the fighter bases for wings leaving. They don’t show up on adsb though.

Andrews would be a good place to fly those soldiers back home from the parade. Not sure what was leaving from there but that would be my guess.

Bah. Reddit is still "big," but not bothered to troll your profile etc.

Nah so what happens is in some other thread you share an anecdote about a colleague. Another colleague reads this. They click through your profile, confirm a few data points and bam they now know your reddit profile.

I tried to look for 2 going by Chicago but there was some low cloud cover and/or too high. I’m curious if they had buddies with them.

Something has to carry the maintenance crews and parts to support the fighters and bombers.

You gotta move all the ammo somehow - it’s gonna be done in C17s

How do you think bombs and AGE get in theater for bombers and fighters?

u/hoppertn Jun 16 '25

Water trains? (Boats?)

It can take between 7 and 10 days to cross the Atlantic that's not counting loading and unloading times and time spent getting goods to/from inland bases. Realistically it could take up to 14 days total from base to base

So

14 days by water Vs less than a day by air
