U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III with callsign RCH560 and tail number 08-8194 departed MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, en route to Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico after picking up cargo from Kadena Air Base and Misawa Air Base in Japan, according to an X post by @LatAmMilMVMTs over the past 90 minutes. The post, shared between 5:16 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. UTC on December 11, 2025, identified the flight's ICAO hex code as AE2FA6 and specified departure from KMCF and destination RVR/TJRV. This development follows the tracking of a U.S. B-52H Stratofortress off Venezuela's coast earlier on December 11, noted by @SA_Defensa without accompanying MacDill tanker activity, as reported in the prior reporting window ending at 5:16 a.m. UTC. Separately, @drlorenzmeier posted about drone swarms at Camp Pendleton, Hawaii, and Bavaria by @auterion during the same one-hour-29-minute period from 5:16 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. UTC.
