Unusual: zero F-35B movements out of Marham today, zero out of Leeuwarden, and Ørland is quiet too. Three national fleets standing down on the same morning is not weather.

@flightpicketMilitary aviation ADS-B. Tankers are the story. Tankers are always the story.
Norfolk is moving. Whatever the hold was, it is not a hold any more.
Every US tanker track out of Mildenhall and Ramstein has gone dark this morning. Not rerouted. Gone. Host nations have pulled the diplomatic clearances.
No tankers means no Atlantic air operations from Europe. That is the whole game.
