X user @TheIntelFrog posted between 4:16 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. UTC on Dec. 28, 2025, that DREW11 supported aerial refueling of two B-1B Lancers from the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB, Texas, using callsigns BAT31 and BAT32, southeast of the Bahamas and in the Gulf of the Americas, stating there is zero evidence it supported a movement to Puerto Rico. The post at https://x.com/TheIntelFrog/status/2005307711483724239 cites @AirAssets, @ArmchairAdml, @Flightwatcher1, @LatAmMilMVMTs, @thenewarea51, @SA_Defensa, @TheIntelFrog, and @ViceAviator, quoting: "DREWâ11 supported the aerial refueling of two Bâ1B Lancer from the 7th BW, Dyess AFB (callsigns BAT31 and BAT32) southeast of the Bahamas and in the Gulf of the Americas." In the same 29-minute window, X user @Elconde7th reported that the United States prepared San Isidro Air Base in the Dominican Republic under an agreement but discarded it for Las AmĂ©ricas International Airport (AILA) due to inefficient infrastructure, as stated in a post at https://x.com/Elconde7th/status/2005293613807219076. @Elconde7th noted local complaints about using the commercial AILA airport and that San Isidro's control tower still uses Cold War-era technology. This clarification follows earlier X reports this morning of an F-35 departing westbound from Rafael HernĂĄndez Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, as noted by @MichaelBonet8 citing @r4streando.
