Certainly the way these were heading.

I know the US marines are supposed to be good, but surely 4 off Osprey loads isn't quite enough to take Libya

The curious thing is where they have come from - fly from the US? (not the fastest aircraft around), or possibly a ship offshore.
Could be something to do with the up and coming jamming ops.

Stopped over in the Azores and then trailed to Mildenhall by a MC-130P. Apparently a feasibility study to see if they can replace the MH-60s used at Mildenhall for long range SAR rather than anything to do with Libya (in which case they would probably have gone direct to Italy).

Interesting - thanks.



Libya comment was tongue in cheek BTW hence the smiley
