Over Kansas the tankers refueled two groups of planes, identified on air traffic control audio by their callsigns MYTEE11 FLT and MYTEE21 FLT. The callsign MYTEE has previously been associated with special activity flights by B-2 bombers, and multiple flight trackers on social media said the planes being refueled were B-2 bombers out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. https://web.archive.org/web/20251230030545/https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/politics/iran-b-2-bombers-trump 30 December 2025
