There's nothing but Jessica to send back from the Iraqi theater? Nothing else?

What heavy cargo are we transporting from Germany to Iraq?

Could be anything...repair parts, munitions, or whatever is needed. OTOH, it could just be part of its mission on a run back to CONUS to pick up something else.

Normally, they would evac patients on a jet that has been rigged to for that job. C-130 takes too long and besides, they're needed in theater for trash hauling.

Gee, it's only the largest US airbase in Europe. Do you have some special insight into what is moving through each base?

Even if nothing is moving through Ramstein, does every flight going back to the States need to be non-stop? I think not! Esp. if they need to do a crew change.
