Don't just take MY word for it. π
"...the mission of the 335th Fighter Squadron is to be prepared to deploy anywhere in the world on short notice and deliver an array of air-to-ground weapons with pinpoint accuracy."

I'm not sure how many of the #USAF 335th's 24 F-15E Strike Eagles were forward-deployed to #Romania.
"The squadron is currently authorized 24 F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft and approximately 360 officer and enlisted personnel."

Thanks to Planet and @ameliairheart we have confirmation they were there, and left as expected.

Thanks to @EHSBspotter we even have a photo of them overflying The Netherlands, and the tail number of that KC-135 that's dragging (at least?) two F-15Es.

Since the F-15E Strike Eagles would have been using Mode-C (aka Mode-3C) we didn't see their location, but we did pick up their tanker, showing where they had to take on fuel on the way from Romania to the UK. Very close to where #RCAF CF-188s had to on their return from Romania.
