Welcome in. We are now day 13 or 14 of Operation Epic Fury, depending on when you watch this.

I am still on the road, wrapping up my trip sitting here in Paris.

Now, we have a lot to dive into today. The first, an update for the KC135 mishap.

0:14.8

Unfortunately, CENTCOM has released and confirmed that all six crew members involved in that

0:20.0

mishap have perished.

0:21.5

Now, the other KC-135 images appeared later on after yesterday's video showing it landing in Israel.
