Originally posted by @DefenceGeek, the update reports: After an initial delay where she returned to Tinker AFB (KTIK), E-3G "SHUCK84" 78-0577 (AE11E5) is now en-route to Ramstein Airbase (ETAR) in Germany to swap with E-3G "SHUCK85" 75-0556 (AE11D6), which left Prince Sultan Airbase (OEPS) in Saudi Arabia on 5 August 2026. Once 78-0577 arrives at OEPS, it will bring the number of operational E-3Gs there back to six airframes and be the first "ZZ" tailcode present (the rest are all "OK" tailcodes).
