I was wondering where the Cougars might go

Any theories or heads up as to what might happen? Will they refuel nearer the coast at places such as Norwich or Manston or revisit Lakenheath as on the outbound leg?

Now that all the excitement has died down, thanks to everyone who posted info on Tac Blaze. It was appreciated, and I'm sure it was helpful to some folk. Let's hope it's not too long before we get some more action here.
