Wondering if fighters are loitering at high altitude with transponders off and the KC-135R is keeping them fueled all day. Same thing happened yesterday and for a period there were two orbiting.
That looked like pilot training...touch and goes. I was watching speeds and altitude and it was either touching down or nearly touching down, then going airborne again. Very common for military flight ops. The E-6Bs do it all the time too.
Naturally they will have a CAP up.
What looks off to me is the "T38" party in Mississippi?
