Twelve F-15Es plus tanker support arrived at Mildenhall from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, on their way to the Middle East, probably Jordan. The fighters assembled at Westover (Mass.) and the tankers met them out of Portsmouth (New Hampshire, formerly Pease AFB) for the crossing. They came in two cells, TABOR71-76 and TABOR81-86. It was getting pretty close to sunset by the time they arrived, so unfortunately the photos are grainy. Here's some shots of all four tankers plus a few of the F-15s.
