Very cool catch Bill...

Wonder if this was scheduled to be in the US for the Red Flag that got scrubbed?

WTI gets AWACS support toward the end of the training cycle.  Most likely here to support the FINEX this weekend.  Matt and I caught a NATO straight-707 at Yuma back in April '09.  (It left while we were lunching at Subway - D'OH!)

I saw a photo on the web that shows what appears to be this same airplane at an air show at Lackland AFB on November 7th.

It's photo number 6 of this slide show.

NATO AWACS LX-N 90449 goes in Boneyard and is in the reapers yard of no return. No time wasted here.  https://flic.kr/p/vpB8N7
