12 February - 2200z
There have now been at least 147 flights of U.S. Air Force C-17 and C-5 aircraft from bases in the United States and Japan to bases in the CENTCOM AOR, via primarily Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.
The breakdown of the destinations looks like this:
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base: 87
Ali Al Salem Air Base: 15
Al Udeid Air Base: 13
Prince Sultan Air Base: 19
Isa Air Base: 3
Diego Garcia NSF: 10
Of these 147 flights, 106 of them came from these five airfields:
Robert Gray Army Airfield: 49
Biggs Army Airfield: 25
Anniston Army Depot: 6
Roosevelt Roads NAS: 12
RAF Lakenheath: 14
Three C-17s either arrived at, or are en route to, their final destination in the Middle East:
#AE49C6 09-9210 - REACH 699 (Vieques)
#AE2FA2 08-8190 - REACH 347 (Anniston AD)
#AE1468 07-7170 - REACH 841 (Biggs AAF)
REACH 699 and REACH 347 are headed to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, where 12x F-15Es, 6x F-35As are currently based. REACH 841 is to Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
There are five currently in-progress flights:
#AE145B 06-6157 - REACH 789 (Robert Gray AAF)
#AE146E 07-7176 - REACH 702 (Robert Gray AAF)
#AE20C9 07-7188 - REACH 334 (Biggs AAF)
#AE2FAD 08-8201 - REACH 837 (Anniston Army Depot)
#AE1239 04-4129 - REACH 271 (Roosevelt Roads NAS)
The vast majority of the flights so far have been from Army Airfields supporting the deployment of THAAD and Patriot air defence systems, and deploying equipment from RAF Lakenheath and Roosevelt Roads for the F-15Es and F-35As that have been moved from those bases.

11 February - 2150z
The rate of flights has slowed somewhat over the past 24 hours. There hasn't been a shift from Army Airfields to Air Force bases yet, so the airlift is still primarily moving air defence systems.
The six "VT" Vermont Air National Guard F-35A's which moved to RAF Lakenheath on Monday moved to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan today.
NOTE: All information is obtained via public sources (ADS-B/ACARS), and this list is by no means exhaustive.
Coronet East 035 - "VT" F-35As
Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker 3x
#AE04CC 62-3499 - GOLD 83
#AE0506 61-0293 - GOLD 82
#AE07C3 63-8023 - GOLD 81
Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II 6x
Cell 1: TABOR 41/42 (18-5336/18-5344) w/ GOLD 81
Cell 2: TABOR 45/46 (18-5338/18-5358) w/ GOLD 83
Cell 3: TABOR 43/44 (17-5280/17-5239) w/ GOLD 82
The six "VT" F-35As from Burlington Air National Guard Base departed RAF Lakenheath this morning with support from the three KC-135s that brought them over from Vermont earlier this week. The other six are still at Moron Air Base in Spain.
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, Jordan
Boeing C-17 Globemaster III 2x
#AE1463 06-6165 - REACH 862 (Roosevelt Roads NAS)
#AE20C9 07-7188 - REACH 872 (Biggs AAF)
There have now been 10 flights from Roosevelt Roads NAS where the 12x "VT" F-35As have been, plus one from Burlington ANGB. For comparison, there were 14 from RAF Lakenheath to Salti for the 12x F-15Es that deployed to Jordan.
Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory
Boeing C-17 Globemaster III 1x
#AE1451 05-5147 - REACH 143 (Kadena)
REACH 143 has arrived at Diego Garcia from Kadena Air Base. Many of the other flights from Kadena that went to bases in the Middle East instead flew East via Elmendorf, Bangor and Germany. For this one to fly direct from Japan to Diego Garcia suggests this is it's final destination.
