We are conducting training and right of passage exercises. Due to Iran playing chicken with our shipping we added an additional plane or two in the daily mix.
The planes marked as 'C30J' s are USAF C-130 J Hercules gunships, flying escort patrols over the straights. These work with the Navy to provide gunfire support against small boat swarm attacks by the rageheads.
The planes marked as C-17s are USAF C-17 Globemasters, heavy lift transports. The H-53 is a Marine Helicopter, heavy lift.
The others are passenger aircraft.
Except for the gunships it's probably about normal traffic, is my SWAG.
