Sh1n reposted a report from DefenceGeek stating that 12 F-35A jets from the 325th Fighter Wing arrived at RAF Mildenhall (EGUN) under the flight callsigns "TABOR71" and "TABOR81" as part of Coronet East 118.

Six tankers supported the crossing:

  • KC-46A "GOLD21" 17-46034 #AE5E0F (KPSM -> KPSM)
  • KC-46A "GOLD22" 16-46021 #AE5BC6 (KPSM -> EGUN)
  • KC-135R "GOLD23" 60-0359 #AE04A2 (LFOA -> EGUN)
  • KC-46A "GOLD31" 18-46051 #AE5F9E (KPSM -> KPSM)
  • KC-46A "GOLD32" 21-46090 #AE63C6 (KPSM -> EGUN)
  • KC-135R "GOLD33" 59-1516 #AE04E6 (LFOA -> EGUN)

According to the report, an accompanying map showed the approximate route flown by the jets. They departed Langley (KLFI) after pre-positioning there from their home base at Tyndall (KPAM) during the preceding days.

DefenceGeek assessed that the aircraft would most likely replace the "HL" tail F-35As that departed CENTCOM earlier in the day under Coronet East 119.
