Strange the oceanic ALTRV for the F-35's hasn't been removed, or posted again for tomorrow.

it might also be that it has been overlooked. Rare, but it has happened before.

The RAF pilot that was bringing in one of the aircraft today was active on Twitter 4 hours ago. Highly doubt he would have been posting at that time if they were still inbound today.
