I was just watching the news before putin's attack, and President Biden's news conferences, and it made sense to me to start monitoring radar.

Along with some of our NATO partners, we had a lot of interesting aircraft up today over Europe.. F16 in Romania, refuelers NATO, Moscow to Brussels... A drone of monitoring some sort, ewas up 117,000ft off the coast of Romania. We're scanning the Black Sea again today. F16 and UK Tiger, patrols along UK eastern coast.

Our training pilots are still heavy in the Texas, Oklahoma Kansas, and along the Mexico border. A few up in California and Arizona. We also had the big Stratotanker flying. 2 AWACS yesterday, eastern TX. First time I've seen an AWACS anywhere on the map. I am thinking we are getting them ready to send overseas.

There is also a balloon up SW of Lubbock TX, that has bee up for 2 days... I looked it up, and it's a Loon, primarily used for internet.

I've been really busy today, so probably missed a lot. I am hoping more C130 Hercules landed and a huge round of humanitarian and weapons arrived.
