Eight KC-135s from Bangor ANGB and RAF Mildenhall are supporting the move of twelve A-10 Thunderbolt IIβs from Pease Air National Guard Base to RAF Lakenheath.
TABOR 71 and TABOR 81 departed ~30 mins apart, and should arrive just after sunset this evening. BORA 21/22 were travelling at just 300kts.
These A-10s are from the 107th Fighter Squadron. There are a further 6x from the 190th Fighter Squadron due to follow them this week.

Eight KC-135s are currently supporting TABOR 81 and TABOR ?? flight of (possibly) "HL" F-35As to RAF Lakenheath.
CLEAN 71/72 and CLEAN 81/82 departed Salt Lake City in Utah, close to Hill Air Force Base, and are currently heading over Canada. CLEAN 73/74 departed Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station, and CLEAN 83/84 departed Bangor Air National Guard Base.
The final set of tankers, CLEAN 75/85, were due to leave RAF Mildenhall but due to strong winds they are unable to depart. This may mean the fighters have to divert if the current tankers do not have sufficient fuel to offload to them.
This follows two other tankers, CLEAN 91/92, arriving yesterday at RAF Mildenhall. There hasn't been any activity from these today.

Five KC-135s have supported the movement of a further six F-22s, potentially also from Langley Air Force Base. to RAF Lakenheath. There looks to be an additional six heading across tomorrow as well.
Tankers GOLD 51-53 departed Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station, while GOLD 54-55 flew from RAF Mildenhall.
The are various rumours surrounding this second set of F-22s, from backfilling deployed Lakenheath squadrons with also-rumoured incoming "SJ" F-15Es, to being backup if the 11x F-22s which deployed today need rotating or reinforcing.

GOLD53 appears to have been operating as spare while GOLD51 and 52 do the actual tanking on the way out. They'll likely hand over to GOLD54 and 55 somewhere over the Atlantic
@MATA_osint
And another night AAR flight is over western PA.
C-17A Globemaster III #AE07EB as PITT75 is setting up to pull in behind KC-135 #AE0501 as 59-1504.
Another example that disproves #MonkeyWerx's assertion that tankers indicate fighters.
