Great photos on both sites. Was this in support of an exercise?

Can't go into exact reasons why but it is part of a scheduled rotation, DM went A-10 wise to last.

They were "stuck" in DM for a few days because they lost tanker support.

You used the "stuck" quotes for the wrong stop. They were stuck in DM. They were "stuck" in Hawaii. Bastards.

Sadly, looks like the 75th is having a history with delays because of tankers, last year on the way home from OEF they got stuck for having no tankers and their return home became kind of \"Odyssy Home\".
The tankers than had been bus supporting OdyssyDawn/ Unified protector
