Spangdahlem F-16 enroute to Nellis from Pease as MAZDA 51 X 6 138.75 A/A with GOLD 1 Tanker 59-1474,boom is 314.1.

Second Cell has departed MAZDA 61 x 5 227.95 A/A with Gold 11 KC-135R 343.1 Boom

[skippyscage]

interestingly the SP F-16s routed over Colorado and were picked up by PlanePlotter - I had no idea they transmitted via ADSB, which apparently two did:

91-0342 AE16F1 WARHK02
91-0405 AE16F2 WARHK03

at FL245

along with KC-135s

62-3533 GOLD11
62-3569 TURBO33

How accurate the above is, is open to question of course, plus the sy was overcast so no visuals.
