There has now been at least 140 flights of U.S. Air Force C-17 and C-5 aircraft from bases in the United States and Japan to the CENTCOM AOR since 14 January.
These flights have been primarily from U.S. Army Airfields, followed by U.S. Air Force bases related to deployed fighters. The breakdown of the flights is as follows:
Arrived/En Route/Filed via ACARS: 140
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base: 83
Prince Sultan Air Base: 19
Ali Al Salem Air Base: 13
Al Udeid Air Base: 13
Diego Garcia NSF: 9
Isa Air Base: 3
There are currently only three flights in-progress, two from Biggs AAF, and the other from Robert Gray AAF.
There have been two CORONET movements today. The first was an attempted move of the 12x "MO" F-15E Strike Eagles of Mountain Home Air Force Base from Souda Bay to Moron. The second being the 6x "VT" F-35As at Naval Station Rota relocating to Moron.

#AE04E8 60-0356 - BLUE 61
Two of the four BLUE tankers that arrived at Moron over the past few days positioned further to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Along with two based tankers at Al Udeid, BLUE 61/62 and BLUE 71/72 flights departed Al Udeid for Souda Bay, where 12x F-15E Strike Eagles from Mountain Home AFB had moved on the 9th February.
The rumour had been that they would fly to RAF Lakenheath without tanker support, making another stop at Aviano. These tankers were due to take them to Moron, but weather at Moron meant they cancelled. The tankers returned to Moron, and the fighters remained at Souda Bay.
